[rt-users] Dependencies for RT 4.0.5 on CentOS 5

[Scott Sjodin]

Stephen,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Unless I entered the bash command incorrectly (which is entirely possible)
both of those came back with "no code specified for -e"

So two questions now since I've clearly mixed the environments (and I'm
quite new to bash):
1. How do I remove that symlink?
2. How do I build CPAN in the new environment?

Thanks so much for the reply again.
