Re: red hat mod_perl build problem

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/04/04]

Thanks for the reply, but I did some more digging and decided that 
having 2 versions of perl installed (improperly) on my system was 
probably the culprit. And since red hat provides a version of 
apache2 and modperl 2 with perl 5.8.0, I decided to just go with 
that, even though it is 1.5 years old (1.99.09)!

Now if I could only get the Oracle client to install I will be back 
to developing more code!

Thanks,

Tom
