Also do the export of the PERL5LIB environment var before you invoke ./install_cluster ... And you may also have to export to PYTHONPATH later on if you succed with this. It's actually simple. Try ./install_cluster ... and every time it fails because it cannot find a perl module or a python module try #locate and the filename.pm or .py and then type export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/path name that you can cut and paste from the locate output and export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path to python module the oscar setup cannot find. Also if the #locate filename is large redirect it to a file called test or something and in another xterm type vi test so you can can see it!
