Got it.

And I modified the Makefile.in to:

# This is the group that all of the installed files will be chgrp'ed to.
RTGROUP                 =       "@RTGROUP@"


# User which should own rt binaries.
BIN_OWNER               =       "@BIN_OWNER@"

# User that should own all of RT's libraries, generally root.
LIBS_OWNER              =       "@LIBS_OWNER@"

# Group that should own all of RT's libraries, generally root.
LIBS_GROUP              =       "@LIBS_GROUP@"

WEB_USER                =       "@WEB_USER@"
WEB_GROUP               =       "@WEB_GROUP@"

Which seems to have mostly-fixed that problem, though I'm not sure whether
it's enough.

I am, though, suddenly being nattered at about FCGI prereqs, which I wasn't
before, and which I don't expect to, since I specified modperl2 as my handler.

It'd be real odd if that wasn't because of my changes, though I can't imagine
why they might be connected.  Syntax coloring suggests that I didn't miss any
close-quotes, though.

Thanks, Thomas.

Cheers,
