353459 - Unable to load config.pl if the GTop perl module is installed.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Despot, defect)

Description

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

We couldn't get despot to work on landfill because the config failed to load.  After much pulling of hair we discovered there was another config.pl in the @INC search path.

[root@landfill despot]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/config.pl
perl-GTop-0.16-1

Adding a "use lib qw(.);" near the top of despot.cgi fixes the problem (by putting . at the top of the @INC search path instead of the bottom).

The patch doesn't fix it completely. New patch to fix the rest of the files coming soon.

we should just name the config file something else.

despot.conf or something maybe. :)
