Re: Perl/Apache install problems

[Willis Gregory <tacedi series2000 com>]

Victor,

Thanks for the help.   One strange thing I just noticed is that some of the 
so-called missing dependencies seem to be on my system, only in different 
directories than Gnome RPM is looking for them.

When I did a find on perl and env, it showed the files were on my system at 
the following locations:

     /usr/bin/perl
     /usr/bin/env

The implication to me is that the RPM is looking for files in the wrong 
location.

Results of your suggestions are below.

    glibc-devel-2.1.2-11
    libc-5.3.12-31
    glibc-2.1.2-11
    compat-glibc-5.2-2.0.7.1

There is a file "extra-SRPMS/perl-mod_perl-1.21-4.src.rpm" on the 
CPANdisk.  Is this the one I should load.

Gnome RPM locked up on me several times during my attempts to load the CD, 
plus the screen saver does not work.  I keep hoping Linux will be the 
Windows killer, but it doesn't seem ready for prime time based on the 
problems I keep having with Red Hat.
