My RH Linux 6.2 build went so easily I was lulled into thinking this was no big deal. I had installed all the rpm's rather than customizing and I was the admin. I think I've read all the most recent posts on this topic and see that it really can be a difficult process. My most recent experience bears this out. I'm at a client site and have to work within their structure. Mozzila is built on 2 machines (Solaris 5) but the person who built is gone and documentation incomplete. Now we want to load onto 7 more machines running Solaris 6. I downloaded the C SDK from iPlanet and PerLDAP-1.4 from CPAN. The SA already upgraded Perl to 5.004. I got through the first part which said "Looks good." I think most posts I see stumble on the make, at least I did. The SA's don't want to put a compiler on each of the 7 production machines. QUESTIONS: While they "installed" gcc on a development box, I have no idea if it was installed correctly as I'm getting errors unable to read headers. While they struggle with the compiler install, I have 2 questions: 1. I have functioning Mozilla/LDAP/CONN.pm, ENTRY.pm etc. modules. I tar'd them up and moved them into an identical structure on another machine. I set ownership, permissions identical. I verified that that @INC had this structure in its path. I tried to run a Perl script and first failure was API.pm not found in the @INC. @INC is ..... Is there some way to take these constructed .pm's and move them onto a new machine without a compiler? Do I still need some C libraries? 2. I hate to second guess the SA's but what is the source for the GNU C++ compilers, www.gnu.org? Is it a big deal to install? I'm afraid of the install resetting links, permissions, etc. and then I'm in big trouble.
