Subject: Anyone have bugzilla installed successfully from RPM?

Hi all.


I recently tried to install bugzilla from the bugzilla-2.8.1.src.rpm. It
told me it required Chart, TimeDate, Mysql, msql-mysql, and DBI. I
grabbed those rpms (all these are distributed by redhat) and installed
them. However, bugzilla still complains about failed dependencies saying
that it needs TimeDate, Chart, and Msql-Mysql. When I query the rpm
database, there is no TimeDate, but there is perl-TimeDate (which is
what the rpm was called when I installed it). Same for the other two. Is
it possible that the bugzilla rpm is "broken" in that the names of the
rpms it wants to see installed are actually prefixed with "perl-" and so
therefore, it does not recognize them?

Is there a quick way I can fix this?

Can anyone who might have bugzilla installed on intel/RH6.2 from rpm (or
otherwise) provide some advice on how to proceed?
