[rt-users] RT::Extension::PriorityAsString Help Request (Comple & Configuration)

[Brian Thompson]

Thank you Kevin!  Tried installing per your recommendation (looks likes it put files in their correct locations!) but I'm still not seeing a change in RT behavior (removed the "obj" directory and stopped/restarted the web server per instructions).  Here's the "make" output (anything obvious here?):

[rtracker at ithelpdesk RT-Extension-PriorityAsString-0.03]$ perl Makefile.PL

find the location of RT.pm that defines $RT::LocalPath in: inc /rt/perl/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /rt/perl/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /rt/perl/lib/perl5 /rt/perl/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /rt/perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/5.8.8 /rt/perl/lib64/perl5 /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/5.8.8 /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/site_perl /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /rt/perl/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 . /opt/rt3/lib /opt/lib/rt3 /opt/lib /usr/local/rt3/lib /usr/local/lib/rt3 /usr/local/lib /home/rt3/lib /home/lib/rt3 /home/lib /usr/rt3/lib /usr/lib/rt3 /usr/lib /sw/rt3/lib /sw/lib/rt3 /sw/lib /rt/perl /rt/perl/rt3/lib /rt/perl/lib/rt3 /rt/perl/lib
Path to your RT.pm:  /rt/app/lib

Using RT configuration from /rt/app/lib/RT.pm:

./lib   => /rt/app/local/plugins/RT-Extension-PriorityAsString/lib

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Thank you!

Using PREFIX like that has caused your extension to be installed in a completely nonstandard location.

It should print something like 
    ./html => /rt/perl/local/plugins/RT-Extension-PriorityAsString/html

This looks like you've clobbered the shipped versions of those files.

A better way to install a plugin is as follows.

perl Makefile.PL  - answer the prompt it gives, or run RTHOME=/rt/perl perl Makefile.PL and see if it installs correctly
