[rt-users] Enabling extensions in RT4.2.8?

[Alex Hall]

I'll run the install again and hope that doing so won't cause any problems.
:)

root at server24:/home/ahall/RT-Extension-PriorityAsString-1.04# perl
Makefile.PL
Using RT configuration from /usr/share/request-tracker4/lib/RT.pm:
html       =>
/usr/local/share/request-tracker4/plugins/RT-Extension-PriorityAsString/html
lib        =>
/usr/local/share/request-tracker4/plugins/RT-Extension-PriorityAsString/lib
Generating a Unix-style Makefile
Writing Makefile for RT::Extension::PriorityAsString
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json

Skip blib/lib/RT/Extension/PriorityAsString.pm (unchanged)

root at server24:/home/ahall/RT-Extension-PriorityAsString-1.04# make install
Appending installation info to
/usr/local/share/request-tracker4/man/perllocal.pod
Couldn't load RT config file RT_SiteConfig.pm:

Can't locate object method "InitPluginPaths" via package
"RT::Extension::PriorityAsString" (perhaps you forgot to load
"RT::Extension::PriorityAsString"?) at
/usr/share/request-tracker4/lib/RT.pm line 654.
Compilation failed in require at
/usr/share/request-tracker4/lib/RT/Config.pm line 1106.
Makefile:796: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 255

Well, that's new. Obviously this is the source of the trouble, but what
does it mean and how do I fix it? As far as I remember, I didn't see this
on my last install, but I'm glad it's here now if it illuminates the core
problem! And no, I think I missted the RTHOME comment. I'm going to search
for it as soon as I send this.
