Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup failed with error can't findCompress::Zlib

2007-11-11 Thread Ed Burgstaler
I'll give that a try Les ... Thanks
I remember someone pointing out previously that rpms are better than using
CPAN and maybe this is why.

 I assume this must be due to the newer version of perl? Any

 From above it looks like you're running RHEL4 x86_64.

3rd party repos like Dag Wieers (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/) or ATrpms
(http://atrpms.net) contain a lot of extra pre-built rpms for 3rd party
tools. All the rpms are usually called perl-Module-Name. i.e. 
perl-Compress-Zlib

Set yourself up for these repos and then install using rpms instead of cpan.
You should be able to get things sorted using compatible rpms.

Regards,

Les

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup failed with error can't findCompress::Zlib

2007-11-11 Thread Ed Burgstaler
 Just to let you know ... 
Thanks to Les's suggestion of trying rpms from ATrpms rather than CPAN, I
went ahead and downloaded and installed the perl-IO-String, perl-IO-Zlib,
perl-Archive-Zip, perl-Archive-Tar and perl-Compress-Zlib rpms.
Seems everything is working again now ... So thanks much
