To install this update:


1) If you didn't yet install Version 0.6 Redhat 6.2 machines will need
   to delete these files and diretory if they exist
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/File/Spec   (directory - needs to go or be renamed)
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/File/Spec.pm





2) If you didn't install Version 0.6 You will need to install the 3.5
   version of the LON-CAPA sytemperl rpm.

If you are running RedHat 6.2 get
http://install.loncapa.org/resources/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-1.i386.rpm

If you are running RedHat 7.[0,1,2,3] get
http://install.loncapa.org/resources/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-rh7.i386.rpm


Install it by doing:
rpm -Uvh --force LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-1.i386.rpm
or

Verify it is installed by doing:

$ rpm -q LON-CAPA-systemperl

Redhat 6.2 will show
LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-1

RedHat 7.3 will show
LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-rh7




3) If you didn't do the Version 0.6 install you will need to have the
   Kerberos 5 rpms installed
