I'd highly recommend that you switch to CentOS 3 or Debian old stable if you're planning on using rt2 at all. The Perl modules and C environment in FC6 are far newer than the modules that rt2 needs, which will not work as you've discovered. If you're only doing this to view the data before a migration to rt3 (which I definitely recommend) why not just import the DB tables into MySQL and then review the data using something like MySQLcc? -- Gary L.
