I am having a major problem with fink and cpan and my perl installation. I'm not quite sure when it happened; I haven't installed any modules in a long time. I wanted to set up two programs which required some missing modules. I did install the December 2002 Tools. When I went to install the software which requires some Perl modules, I found that for whatever reason, when using CPAN to attempt an install, it hangs on LWP::Agent's attempts to download. I can download and install by hand easily. ncftpget works greate with the same URLs that make CPAN using LWP::Agent hang.
I would like to get things back in synch. I'm not sure how they got out of synch. Fink creates problems for me. I would prefer to just have a list of all the perl modules I need to install and install through CPAN so that everything would be in one place. Now I seem to have somehow added in conflicting modules - version of the same version of the same program - one through fink and one by hand, from my attempts to render CPAN usable. In an attempt to upgrade/update CPAN itself so it would work, I downloaded and installed Compress-zlib, which CPAN had stopped while trying to download. I've no idea why it didnt' see the fink installed version. Any ideas and or suggestions are appreciated. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
