Just to continue the issues that Sam Tregar mentioned about using Fedora Core 5 , I'm adding the following:
-
OpenSSL
FC5 comes with version 0.9.8 which has actually been available since July of 2005. But Crypt::SSLeay which is used all over the place will not build against 0.9.8. You can, of course patch your version using the info from here.
-
SQLite
FC5 comes with version 3.3.3 which is isn't even the latest stable version (3.3.4 is). But DBD::SQLite won't build against it. There is a work around, because DBD::SQLite comes with it's own version (3.2.7) of SQLite and uses it if you don't already have one installed. Or you can force it to use it anyway by running Makefile.PL like so
perl Makefile.PL USE_LOCAL_SQLITE=1
If I notice anything else I'll be sure to let you know.
