Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Axel Rose (axelrose) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: installme droplet and long filenames Initial Comment: The installme droplet failes with long filenames. After downloading Spreadsheet-WriteExecl-0.37.tar.gz from CPAN the name gets shortened. In my example I have Festplatte:Desktop Folder:Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.37..gz The installme script failes to match this properly and stops with "cannot change to dir ..." because it tries to change to a directory with the same filename as the archive. After changing the name of the downloaded archive to Spreadsheet-WriteExcel.tgz the installation starts but failes later with: # Can't chdir Festplatte:Desktop Folder:Spreadsheet-WriteExcel: No such file or directory The workaround is of course manual installation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107940&aid=555348&group_id=7940
