OTRS just as long as you do not have 64 bit ARC

Dear Support Chain, I an interesting combination. I have setup and sucessfully configured a OTRS server on SuSE 9.3 32 bit system. Now, my boss has ordered 64 bit servers. I now cannot find a version of the perl-GD software that will run on the box. The only version I have found wants to have perl 5.8.5 and SuSE installed 5.8.6* Can anyone help me find the right combination of SuSE for 64 bit ARC and perl-GD. I think that this question might be a little too end ARC specific, but I will as anyway as I have spent the entire day freezing in the server room trying to get the box to install OTRS. Thanks for any response to this somewhat unusual request. A little bit of info: rpm -ivh perl-GD-<version> perl-GD-1.38-105.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libgd.so.4 is needed by perl-GD-1.38-105 libpng.so.2 is needed by perl-GD-1.38-105 perl-GD-2.05-54.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: pilot-mailsync is needed by pilot-mailsync-jpilot-0.7.2-30 jpilot is needed by pilot-mailsync-jpilot-0.7.2-30 libcrypto.so.0.9.6 is needed by pilot-mailsync-jpilot-0.7.2-30 libssl.so.0.9.6 is needed by pilot-mailsync-jpilot-0.7.2-30 perl-GD-2.16-3.1.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl = 5.8.5 is needed by perl-GD-2.16-3.1 rpm -ivh otrs-2.0.3-01.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl-GD is needed by otrs-2.0.3-01 perl-GDGraph is needed by otrs-2.0.3-01 perl-GDTextUtil is needed by otrs-2.0.3-01 AAAAAHGGGGG. :-) Thank you, Shawn Beasley Support - IT Cargo Future Communications GmbH Building 1335 55483 Airport Hahn Tel. +49 6543 983 113 Fax +49 6543 983 119 Mobil: +49 151 12 12 8934 Email: shawn.beasley@dlh.de mailto:shawn.beasley@dlh.de Web: http://www.cfc-callcenter.com http://www.cfc-callcenter.com/

Hi Shawn, Maybe you can install the Perl GD lib through CPAN instead of RPM? shawn.beasley@dlh.de wrote:

Try to install GD::* Perl modules via CPAN. run 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' and issue following commands in the CPAN shell: install GD install GD::Text install GD::Graph install GD::Graph::lines install GD::Text::Align If some of this commands generates errors during the 'make test' try to force-install by issuing 'force install' instead of 'install'. I've installed GD Perl modules via 'force install' due to errors, but everything works fine in OTRS.
