I have been working on getting this going under RedHat 6.1 and after
several late nights I can provide the following jewel of knowledge which
is required in addition to my previous posting:
-----------------------
8.a MOST IMPORTANT
You must now edit the following files:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/Roaming.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/Roaming/LiPrefs.pm
Comment out the line near the top of both these files which reads:
use Apache::File ();
by inserting a # character at the beginning of the line. If you do not
apache will crash and not tell you why... very frustrating!
------------------------
I also found that for completeness you need to install the
Devel::Symdump package and re-install (?!) the MIME::base64 package (in
addition to URI and Apache::Roaming)
One day (soon?) I will get around to adding this to my web page. I have
forwarded this information to the author of the Apache::Roaming package
so hopefully this problem will disappear with time. In the mean time
its a very simple fix... when you know how (sigh)
