Re: Problems installing DateTime module ...
Kevin Doty wrote: Is this an appropriate place to ask for help if one gets stuck installing the DateTime module? Somewhat appropriate, yes. If so, I'll respond with the details. The build.log file is on the long side so I will probably attach it as a PDF file if that is OK. PDF would be a very silly format for this. If you're concerned about the size, just gzip it. -zefram

Is this the same compiler that you used to build perl? What is the output of perl -V? Ron Hill

Hi Rick, Rick Brewer wrote: Hi Ron, I used the ActiveState version of perl which installed w/o needing a C compiler.I installed DJGPP in order to install the dateTime modules.

You can search the datetime archive to locate a depository for you version of perl. I hope this helps. Ron Hill

Ah, I don't think this is a GPG version mismatch. Daisuke, you need to put your key on a keyserver!

Bah, thanks for the reminder! Ah, I don't think this is a GPG version mismatch. Daisuke, you need to put your key on a keyserver! (try pgp.mit.edu) or else no one can get it for verification.

If it won't _compile_, please send the compilation error messages. If you're getting test failures, please rerun the tests with 'make test TEST_VERBOSE=1' and send the output from the tests that fail. There are some known Win32 problems, but I thought I had rigged the test suite so it would pass. -dave /*=== House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com ===*/
RE: Problems installing on Win32.
Hi Nick, I really want to play with this module but I just can't get the thing to make. I'm no guru or coder I just muck about with perl so working out how to install DateTime-0.13 into ActivePerl using CPAN was an effort in itself. [snipped] What version of activestate perl are you running? If it is perl 5.8.0 then you are in luck because I have just completed the generation of ppm's for that release. (tested by Cameron). Let me know. Ron Hill
