Attempt install of perl-gcpan/RT-Extension-Nginx-0.02, to generate nginx config for rt-4.0.5.

g-cpan generated ebuild and install fails with:

>>> Install RT-Extension-Nginx-0.02 into /var/tmp/portage/perl-gcpan/RT-Extension-Nginx-0.02/image/ category perl-g
cpan
make -j2 install

Have tried manually pre-creating that directory, similar errors for files to be written within ensue.

From build.log:
"Warning: prerequisite RT 4.0 not found. Your installed version of RT () is too old."

Do you have RT installed? Which version?

Do you still have a problem on modern stuff? (portage & g-cpan)
