[rt-users] Easy install guide for RT3.8.1 On Ubuntu 8.0.4 Server

[Cassandra L. Brockett]

I also wound up installing:-
Graphviz
Links (For testing locally)
Sendmail (I happen to have gotten far more used to configuring it than exim/postfix/whatever)

The "hardest" part for a "non-perl" person is the configuration of CPAN, which is actually very easy once you've done it about 15 gazillion times, but first time, best advice: Read the prompts :-)  You can also configure CPAN without needing to run "make fixdeps" (Run the command "perl -MCPAN -e shell" or "cpan" if you're system is working right), and if you do so, to test it once it is configured run either "install HTML::Mason" (from the cpan shell) or "cpan -I HTML::Mason".  You'll need that module for RT anyhow, so you might as well use it to test the cpan install :-)

Ahh!

In which case, do the following:

apt-get install build-essential

That'll install gcc and other packages required to build software.  Then try ./configure      again
