Hi simong I am no expert with these things either, but have you installed the Apple Developer XTools? These are not installed in Mac OS X by default, but you can install them from your original OS X install disc. I think that they are needed to install 'make'. Worth a try! Good luck.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: iTunesupdate on Tiger(Intel)
Hi dabloss I have just managed to get iTunesUpdate working on my G5 Mac (OS X 10.4.8) after having very similar problems to you with getting the Mac::AppleScript::Glue to install using CPAN. I also tried the DarwinPorts link that you showed but this didn't work either. What finally worked for me was when I logged in as the 'root' user and did all the CPAN stuff as shown in the readme file as this user, rather than under my normal user account. I am not sure why, or if this was absolutely necessary, but it worked for me so I am not complaining! At the end of this the perl modules were installed in /Library/Perl/5.8.6 and were recognised by the plugin. Anyway, might be worth trying...but please note that I am by no means an expert. A couple of other things might help: To enable the 'root' account you need to go to the Security menu of NetInfo Manager (in /Applications/Utilities) and specify a password. Then go to the login window, choose 'Other' and log in with user name root and the password you chose. Logging in as root is a bit scary as you can basically trash your whole system if you want to - so take care! Because I had been messing about with CPAN for so long, I trashed Config.pm and Config.pm~ in /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/CPAN before starting CPAN again. (This forced CPAN to go through its config questions again. I accepted all the defaults, except I chose UNINST=1 at the point where it suggests that this might be a good option for root users. I think that this helped to clear out some of the mess from previous CPAN efforts, but don't know if it is essential.) The first 'install' didn't work, but 'force install' did, and now I am up and running, and the plugin is great - thanks James!

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: iTunesupdate on Tiger(Intel)
Hello Dabloss, I did not have to do the perl.ppc anymore. I had to do that setup in the past in my brother's Intel CoreDuo iMac as he had transferred settings/apps/docs from his old iMac G4. Hence, the issue with disparity of architecture etc and the ensuing issues and my hack to resolve the problem. In my new machine, it was a stock setup, so I had to go through the usual setup stuff of the perl CPAN libraries and some other unix utilities(make, wget, ncftp etc..). Here's the procedure that I went through. Please follow the sequence outlined below. I hope you are reasonably adept at navigating around in the Unix terminal. - Install the Developer tools that comes in your Install DVD's. This installs gcc/make etc. - Further go to the following web site(Macports) http://www.macports.org/ where you can download the latest source for Mac ports from the repository. There is a README which gives you instructions on how you need to compile the port binary. I find DarwinPorts a lot easier to install the unix tools compared to Fink. I used to use Fink extensively in the past, but this time over I tried DarwinPorts and it worked like a charm. - Once you are done with the DarwinPorts install, install wget, ncftp lynx. - Now follow the instructions in the iTunesupdate readme to install the CPAN AppleScript::Glue package etc. The first time you run CPAN, it will ask you a bunch of questions and I usually go with the defaults and it worked well for me. - After the pre requisite CPAN package installs are done, just put the iTunesupdate SlimServer plugin in its appropriate plugin location, restart SlimServer and expect to see iTunesupdate working. I have been using 1.8.0 without any issues with both iTunes 7 7.0.1. It works like a charm, James has done a fantastic job with this plugin. It makes my SB experience so much better.
