Bugzilla on 6.4--is it possible?

Greetings, I tried to install Bugzilla on 6.4 system and got completely confused. Bugzilla requires a couple of perl modules, namely GD and Chart::Base. GD is required to be version 1.3 and use libgd version 1.8.3. Chart requires GD version higher than 1.2. By default, on 6.4 system GD is 1.2 and libgd is 1.7.3. OK, I grabbed gd and gdlib rpms for 7.0 system and installed them. My perl is the latest one available from SuSE (perl-5.005_03-182) Unfortunately, when I do make test in Chart, I get: .Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/auto/GD/GD.so' for module GD: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/auto/GD/GD.so: undefined symbol: gdImageJpegPtr at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 169. at blib/lib/Chart/Base.pm line 15 Lincoln Stein (author of GD.pm) once commented: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Thomas Schachner Subject: GD.pm In-Reply-To: <387B1B0E.653A6BA7@awd.at> References: <387B1B0E.653A6BA7@awd.at> X-Mailer: VM 6.71 under 21.1 "20 Minutes to Nikko" XEmacs Lucid (patch 2) Reply-To: lstein@cshl.org --text follows this line-- This problem has been reported under some versions of SuSE and RedHat Linux (it appears to be related to a partcular RPM distribution of Perl). Perl was built incorrectly, causing some but not all loadable modules to fail. The only solution I know of is to rebuild Perl correctly from scratch and reinstall all previously-installed modules.

HI!

Sorry for writing directly, but we have tried all to get GD-1.23 to work ( because we need it urgent ) but the following:

when run make NO! errors

but when make test the following:

Any Hints?

all nessecary libraries are compiled with the same compiler ( libpng & libz )!!

Thanks Thomas

How does SuSE use Bugzilla internally? Any hints from Lenz, Ben? Thanks, Kastus
