[ome-devel] OME install problems with fedora core 2

[Mark Roden]

Hi,

I'm having problems installing OME version 2.2.1 on a
completely clean fedora core 2 installation.  I've managed to
quite a bit further installing the OME server package with
fedora, as opposed to a piecemeal Redhat 9 installation;
however, I still have the following problems:

<begin OME install log>

        main::run_tasks() called at install.pl line 249
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
</end OME install log>

Where is this Makefile.PL?  What changes can I make to it?  Is
there something wacky with a default fedora install that would
make this not work just right off a clean install?  Should I
do a network update of fedora?  That doesn't appear to be
working right now, and I doubt that broken installation paths
will be fixed by updated gnome libs anyway...

Also, once I get this running, does it work on any specific
ports?  What should I allow past my local firewall here?

Thanks
Mark
