[rt-users] XML::RSS/XML::Parser (rt 3.8.8 install)

[Roderick A. Anderson]

I've run into a problem while trying to do an install of RT 3.8.8

CentOS 5.x guest in a Linux-Vserver host.  Perl 5.10.1 added from the 
tarball as a /usr/local/ install.

Everything goes mostly smooth until trying to satisfy the Mason 
requirements.

I'm still looking but here is where I'm at right now.  Well actually as 
of yesterday but I've been practicing "Insanity" (trying the same thing, 
the same way, and expecting the results to be different.)

XML::RSS requires XML::Parser and the install using cpan or 'perl 
Makefile.PL; make; etc.' throws an error.

Should I force or is there something I'm not seeing/doing?
