Hi Risa,
What OS are you using? There are detailed instructions for setting up
WeBWorK on SUSE, Debian, and Fedora at
http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/WeBWorKDocs
Installing libapreq2 can be a problem and I never got it to work at
all with CPAN . For Debian and Fedora the packaged versions work but
for SUSE I had to build everything from source (which is easy once you
know what to do). Take a look at the instructions and see if they
help. I'm in the process of writing instructions for Ubuntu but they
should be very similar to the Debian instructions. If you are using
another OS, I'd like to know which one since we want instructions for
the most popular ones.

We are using Centos 5.
I guess I could try using a fc6 rpm...
Thanks Arnie and Mike.

Hi Risa,
That might work. I'll try a Centos 5 installation after I finish the
Ubuntu instructions (which seem to be 90% Debian and 10% Fedora).
Centos 5 should be pretty close to Fedora 7. I downloaded Fedora Core
6 but never installed it since f7 was out when I was ready to start
writing instructions so I don't know what has changed between fc6 and
f7. I assume Centos 5 is closer to fc6.
I believe Michigan is using RHEL (which I assume is very close to
Centos 5) and you might ask Gavin LaRose about this.

I ended up using the fc6 version of the rpm ...the only problem was that
it installs the modules in the "old" standard /etc/httpd instead of
/usr/local/apache2 (I started with a fresh compile of 2.2.4 vs the 2.2.3
that came with ce5.
There were no errors with the rpm, here are the files:
[root@calculus ~]# rpm -ql libapreq2
/etc/httpd/conf.d/apreq.conf
/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod

Hi Risa,
Thanks for the info. It will come in handy when I write up
instructions for CentOS-5. I'll post this exchange at
http://webwork.maa.org/ as it may help others.
