I've had some trouble to get SS 7 to run properly both on my Suse 10.1 server and my 10.2 desktop. I thought I post the steps I had to take for those who might run into the same kind of trouble. Note: I used the tarball for my installation, not the rpm!
-As with previous versions of SS I decompressed the tarball in /usr/local thus ending up with the directory /usr/local/SlimServer_trunk_v2007-09-XX -Set a symlink /usr/local/slimserver to /usr/local/SlimServer_trunk_v2007-09-XX for easy access -Ran the usual Bin/build-perl-modules.sh without any issues. -Started slimserver, but it failed with an error message about a missing file or directory. A quick forum search found this thread (thanks Neil for posting the solution)http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38172 -Created the missing directory 'Logs' in /usr/local/slimserver -Started slimserver again, no errors this time, scan completed, slimserver showed the right number of tracks. -Only some time later I realised that the scanner couldn't read any id3 tags with non ASCII characters. The scanner log showed hundreds of error messages like this: Code: -------------------- [19:48:12.0012] Slim::Formats::readTags (166) Error: While trying to ->getTag(/public/music/mp3/Electronic/Röyksopp/The Understanding/Röyksopp - The Understanding - 01 - Triumphant.mp3) : Can't locate auto/Encode/Detect/Detector/detect.al in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/slimserver/server ... -------------------- Apparently, Encode::Detect has replaced Encode::Guess in SS 7.0 according to this thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29225 I could find auto/Encode/Detect/Detector/ but the file detect.al wasn't there. -Ran the cpan command and on the cpan command line 'install Encode::Detect' but this failed too. Tried a force install ('force install Encode::Guess') which succeeded. -Restarted slimserver and did a full rescan. This time everything went ok, all files scanned without errors. Note: On Suse 10.2 I had an additional error when starting slimserver. MySql complained that the file /usr/local/slimserver/MySQL/errmsg.sys had fewer entries than expected. I renamed the file to errors.sys.orig and put a symlink to /usr/share/MySQL/EN/errmsg.sys in its place. SS 7.0 now runs on both systems without any issues.
