Claude,

Are you installing on a Mac?

this is the error I found in the logs:

Errors executing task: Apache/mod_perl is not properly configured.  Got
an error response from http://localhost/perl2/mod_perl_test.pl


Most likely, your mod_perl is set up just fine.   What's probably
happening is that the OME install.pl script is not configuring your
apache.conf correctly.   

Your apache server needs to be able to find
that mod_perl_test.pl on the www path.  So, to test, go to the machine
you are testing on, and try http://localhost/perl2/mod_perl_test.pl in
your www browser.   If you get a "file not found"  response, then that
is your problem.   

To fix, do this for apache2:
	1.) edit the apache2.conf file (under /etc/apache2 on ubuntu) and
add the following 
----------------------------------------------------------
	<IfModule mod_perl.c>
        Alias /JavaScript/ /OME/JavaScript/
        Alias /images/ /OME/images/
        Alias /html/ /OME/html/

        PerlSetEnv PATH /usr/bin/:/usr/local/bin/:/sw/bin/
        <Directory /OME>
                Order deny,allow
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
	ScriptAlias /perl2/ /OME/perl2/
</IfModule>
------------------------------------------------------------
	2.) then restart apache2.  on ubuntu, do as root 
		/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
	
To fix for apache, try this:
	1.) edit your httpd.conf file (under /etc/apache/httpd.conf )
and add the following:
---------------------------------------
	Include /OME/conf/httpd.web.conf
	Include /OME/conf/httpd.omeis.conf
--------------------------------------
	2.) then restart apache2.  on ubuntu, do as root
		/etc/init.d/apache restart


After you do that, you will want to run the install.pl script again, but
this time when it asks you to configure the web server, say NO!

That will probably get you past that one error, however you can look
forward to others!  :)
