Hello Monks

I find it perplexing that I cannot seem to compile ANY CPAN module relating to rt4. I've tried many and have met with the same frustrations

Basically this is what occurs.

[monitor03:~/RT-Crypt-SMIME-0.23] root% perl Makefile.PL
Cannot determine perl version info from lib/RT/Crypt/SMIME.pm
Cannot find the location of RT.pm that defines $RT::LocalPath in: inc

+b /sw/lib/rt3 /sw/lib
Path to directory containing your RT.pm:  /usr/local/rt4/lib
[download]

This happens for any perl module I try to compile for RT4. I'm giving the modules the exact location of the RT.pm just the way it is asking:

[monitor03:/usr/local/rt4/etc] root% ls -l /usr/local/rt4/lib/RT.pm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 21802 Oct 13  2011 /usr/local/rt4/lib/RT.pm
[download]

But for some reason the modules don't recognize this RT.pm even tho it seems like the logical choice.

[monitor03:/usr/local/rt4/etc] root% locate RT.pm
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/RR/
+CERT.pm
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/RR/
+RT.pm
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/RT.pm
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/R
+R/CERT.pm
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/R
+R/RT.pm
/usr/local/rt4/lib/RT.pm
/usr/local/src/rt-4.0.2/lib/RT.pm
[download]

Can some kind monk please help me with this dillema? Thanks

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
