Yes it has a chance to work if you copy all the dependencies. You should also be able to copy the entire library to a separate directory, e.g. /home/rt/ and prepend it to perl's search path and so avoid messing the entire systems' perl module install. If you run RT under apache then pay attention to the various mod_perl path config options. It might be a little tricky to set it early enough to take effect (this might be only relevant for .so loading, I'm not sure). Some questions for you: 1. Which distro is it? 2. Have you looked for distro packages for RT? 3. Are you using CPANPLUS? It has yum/apt like package dependancy resolution. (although not perfect). 4. RT is supported by a large community and a company (best practical, I think), have you looked around its dedicated support sites?
