Wow! I finally got it working. A huge investment of time, but I learned a whole lot about Perl and Linux that I didn't know before.
I've got load of experience as a Unix programmer (started out on a VAX, if you remember what those were!) but have always had an administrator to take care of things like loading software. The few times I've had to do this I had root privileges, so it was a snap. This was quite a different matter! Anyway, the key was realizing that I had an up-to-date version of Perl on the machine, but had to invoke it with perl5, not Perl. Once I figure that out, the rest of the installation was fairly straight forward (by then, I'd already figured out how to build the proper makefile and set up PATH and PERL5LIB.) Whew! I was starting to think I'd never get it. Thanks for everyone's help. -- John # -----Original Message----- # From: Gerald Richter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] # Sent: Saturday, July 06, 2002 3:49 PM # To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Subject: Re: problems running embpexec.pl # # # > # > Ah . . . that would explain it.
