I have no problem installing PAR on Windows. However, I cannot get it installed on
Linux.
I downloaded http://aut.dyndns.org/dist/PAR-0.79_99.tar.gz onto my Intel Linux
Mandrake machine.
I did an su to root:
perl Makefile.PL --> ran ok, but then make fails.
make chokes on trying to read /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
but the file is there and has rw permissions, as you can see:
----------------------snip
[EMAIL PROTECTED] authors]# pwd
/root/.cpan/sources/authors
[EMAIL PROTECTED] authors]# ls -l
total 280
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195403 Mar 3 10:54 01mailrc.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79609 Mar 3 10:54 01mailrc.txt.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 3 10:53 01mailrc.txt.gz-4263
----------------------end snip
By "chokes" I mean that it never finishes beyond the line
Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
and my machine slows to a crawl.
Any ideas?
I am going to paste the last lines of output below. Hmmm. I see a
Can't locate auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix
line. Anyone know what this is about?
