Rather than /usr/src, I put in /home/aprk > % make && make test && make install > This can't work, you need to be root to make > install. > Yes, you are correct. make && make test as non-root, then install as root. (Odd, isn't it, the docs at http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#A_Summary_of_a_Basic_mod_perl_Installation don't make this explicit?) > PS: > Did you build your own Perl?

No. There are probably hordes of perls and hpptds and mod_perls running amok on the box throwing wild parties; I don't know. I think my next step should be to start over fresh. Again. As a newbie, may I ask 4 basic questions: [1] How do I find *everything* on the box related to perl / apache / mod_perl, both 1 and 2, both the RH install and from my own ftp / tar / make fumblings? [2] How do I uninstall everything from [1], so I can start fresh? [3] I'd prefer to use modperl 2 and apache 2, as that is what my ISP is using. And I think I'd prefer to use RH rpm to install them, as again, that is what my ISP did. (Want my dev box to match the outside box as much as possible). This newsgroup keeps mentioning "build from sources," will I be going astray trying the rpm route? [4] Is a full uninstall enough, or should I reinstall RH itself? Many thanks for your generosity explaining these mysteries to a newcomer. -- A __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
