I also wound up installing:- Graphviz Links (For testing locally) Sendmail (I happen to have gotten far more used to configuring it than exim/postfix/whatever)
The "hardest" part for a "non-perl" person is the configuration of CPAN, which is actually very easy once you've done it about 15 gazillion times, but first time, best advice: Read the prompts :-) You can also configure CPAN without needing to run "make fixdeps" (Run the command "perl -MCPAN -e shell" or "cpan" if you're system is working right), and if you do so, to test it once it is configured run either "install HTML::Mason" (from the cpan shell) or "cpan -I HTML::Mason". You'll need that module for RT anyhow, so you might as well use it to test the cpan install :-) -----Original Message----- From: rt-users-boun...@lists.bestpractical.com [mailto:rt-users-boun...@lists.bestpractical.com] On Behalf Of Paul Walsh Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 4:22 AM To: Alf Stockton Cc: rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com Subject: Re: [rt-users] Easy install guide for RT3.8.1 On Ubuntu 8.0.4 Server Alf Stockton wrote: > I see that my config.log contains the following:- gcc version 4.2.4 > (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3) > configure:2975: $? = 0 > configure:2982: gcc -V >&5 > gcc: '-V' option must have argument > configure:2985: $? = 1 > configure:3008: checking for C compiler default output file name > configure:3035: gcc conftest.c >&5 > /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > configure:3038: $? = 1 > configure:3076: result: > configure: failed program was: > | /* confdefs.h. */ > | #define PACKAGE_NAME "RT" > | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "rt" > | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "3.8.2" > | #define PACKAGE_STRING "RT 3.8.2" > | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "rt-b...@bestpractical.com" > | /* end confdefs.h. */ > | > | int > | main () > | { > | > | ; > | return 0; > | } > configure:3083: error: C compiler cannot create executables > > Ahh! In which case, do the following: apt-get install build-essential That'll install gcc and other packages required to build software. Then try ./configure again Regards, Paul _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
