Hi Rudolf,
Perl and python are in the /n/sources/extra directories of sources.
This are my notes of how I installed perl for plan9, for python is the
same, but you get the idea.
In your plan9:
9fs sources; ls -l /n/sources/extra
--rw-rw-r-- M 23 rsc sys 14261804 Nov 25 2002 perl.iso.bz2
--rw-rw-r-- M 23 rsc sys 9404968 Sep 15 2003 pgw.tar.bz2
--rw-rw-r-- M 23 sys sys 28133333 Oct 23 03:04 plan9.tar.bz2
--rw-rw-r-- M 23 rsc sys 47744 Sep 14 2005 postmark.c
--rw-rw-r-- M 23 rsc sys 40841 May 1 2002 pq.tgz
--rwxrwxr-x M 23 rsc sys 640 Nov 3 2004 ps2txt
--rw-rw-r-- M 23 rsc sys 4964315 Nov 16 2002 python.iso.bz2
To install it, I did the following:
1. Mount the iso.
mount /srv/9660 /n/dist /path/to/perl.iso
2. Copy the files to another directory, because they were read only
and I had to modify some files
dircp /n/dist /usr/glenda/perl/dist
3. Since I couldn't execute perl.setup, because they make references
to non existing files and directories. Do
>>/n/dist/replica/client/perl.db
>>/n/dist/replica/client/perl.log
4. Also modify /usr/glenda/perl/dist/perl
To look like this:
----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/rc
s=/usr/glenda/perl/dist
serverroot=$s
serverlog=$s/perl.log
serverproto=$s/perl.proto
fn servermount { status='' }
fn serverupdate { status='' }
#fn clientmount { 9fs kfs }
c=/dist/replica
clientroot=/
clientproto=/sys/src/cmd/perl/perl.proto
clientdb=$c/client/perl.db
clientexclude=(dist/replica/client)
clientlog=$c/client/perl.log
----------------------------------------------------------
5. Now you can do a pull.
replica/pull /usr/glenda/perl/dist/perl
