Hello all. First, to soften my complaining, thanks to all who labor on Openca. Your work is truly appreciated even if I have bags under my eyes from trying to install it all night. I've used OpenCA in the past with reasonable success, ventured into NewPKI (interesting but still immature) and EJBCA (monumental overhead) and now am trying OpenCA again to see if it has improved from my last go.
I'm having a terrible time trying to get 0.9.2.2 to install on a fully patched fedora core 3. The first thing I did was read the manuals. I came to Chapter 3 (Installation) and section 1.1, looked at all the needed Perl modules (I am a Perl ignoramus), read the section which said, "Beginning with OpenCA 0.9.2 we no longer install all foreign modules" assumed I needed to install these myself and thus installed them all. I then did my configure (with various options), make && make test. That was a catastrophe. First, Net::SSLeay wouldn't install; I had to force it. Next, testing kept failing at MIME-tools (or MIME::tools depending on who one asks, just like IO::Stringy and IO::stringy). I soon realized that openca was installing perl modules. So I uninstalled using CPANPLUS all the modules I had installed with CPAN and then tried make clean followed by make && make test. The results are much better but it still fails. Now the error message is in openca- openssl and says t/3...Failed test 20. As ignorant as I am with perl, I have no idea of what to do. How do I get openca to install? There are some other peculiarities I've noticed during the installation. I'll relate them in case they are pertinent. It was difficult to catch the screens but there appeared to be errors about Openca::CRL, Openca::OpenSSL, Openca::REQm Openca::Tools and Openca::X509 not being installed but then they appeared to install themselves later. Worse yet, there seemed to be a number of messages about "requires explicit package name" ending in "Begin not safe after failure" and something about compiling failed! In any event, I would love to give OpenCA a try again but cannot get past square one. Any help would be greatly appreciated - John -- John A.
