[ic] Installing Interchange 4.8.3 in a Cobalt RaQ3

Hello.

I am trying to install Interchange 4.8.3 on a Cobalt RaQ3 after reading a
few posts in the list archives.

However, I haven't been successful for the time being.

First I installed the perl modules through cpan.  It seems everything went
okay.  Now I have the modules and perl5.6.1 (perl5.005 is yet at
/usr/bin/perl while perl5.6.1 is at /usr/local/bin/perl).

Then I made the interchange install with the tarball, and a few errors
showed up during ./confugure, related to pod2man:

>>Manifying blib/man3/iccattut.8
>>/usr/bin/pod2man: bad option in paragraph 50 of pod/iccattut.pod: ``-r''
should be [CB]<-r>
>>/usr/bin/pod2man: bad option in paragraph 52 of pod/iccattut.pod: ``-r''
should be [CB]<-r>
>>/usr/bin/pod2man: bad option in paragraph 54 of pod/iccattut.pod: ``-c''
should be [CB]<-c>
>>/usr/bin/pod2man: bad option in paragraph 54 of pod/iccattut.pod: ``-r''
should be [CB]<-r>
>>/usr/bin/pod2man: bad option in paragraph 56 of pod/iccattut.pod: ``-r''
should be [CB]<-r>
>>/usr/bin/pod2man: bad option in paragraph 89 of pod/iccattut.pod: ``-l''
should be [CB]<-l>
>>/usr/bin/pod2man: bad option in paragraph 98 of pod/iccattut.pod: ``-F''
should be [CB]<-F>

...................... etc..........

Also, it seems that the program  only detects perl 5.005:

>>Found Perl 5.00503 as /usr/bin/perl

Anyway at the end of the installation it says:

>>Your Interchange main software installation appears to have been
successful.

>>You are now ready to cd to /usr/local/interchange and run 'bin/makecat'
>>to set up your first catalog.

So I run it and enter the required fields.  However nothing works, not even
the main catalog page.  Here is a copy of the error log after running
makecat and restarting the server:

Any help or reference to a page or document where I can obtain specific
instructions for the Cobalt RaQ3 server will be much appreciated.

Best regards,
