it's again BackupPC::Lib, sub ConfigRead, line 404. It assumes the Lang files
are in $Conf{InstallDir}/lib/BackupPC/Lang. I'd change that to

my $langFile = "BackupPC/Lang/$bpc->{Conf}{Language}.pm";

as 'do' searches the include path automatically. The place to change that
would really be upstream, not in the CentOS package.

yes, the Perl include path in the BackupPC daemon script. That's a bug in the
package. Contact the maintainer and ask him to fix it.

If you want to fix it yourself (and perhaps provide a patch to the
maintainer), look in /usr/bin/BackupPC for a line 

use lib "/lib";

(it's line 59 in vanilla BackupPC 3.1.0). Change that  to whatever
is correct. If you have no idea where the BackupPC library files are and can't
use package tools to e.g. get a list of files contained in the package, try
something like

find / -name PoolWrite.pm -print

(I chose PoolWrite and not Lib, because it seems somewhat less likely to be
used by anything else). Under Debian, that would output

/usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/PoolWrite.pm

so the correct 'use lib' line would be

use lib "/usr/share/backuppc/lib";


Note that you will need to change *all* BackupPC scripts (unless the others
have the correct value ...), i.e. BackupPC, BackupPC_archive,
BackupPC_archiveHost, BackupPC_archiveStart ... let's hope they're all still
named as they should be ;-).

Holger

[BackupPC-users] Problems installing on CentOS 5.2 x64 from testing repo -- can't locate Lib.pm

2008-08-07 Thread John Hardman
Hi All

I am trying to get a new install up on a fresh install of CentOS 5.2 x64
from the testing repo from CentOS

When I try to start the BPC service I get the following...

# service backuppc start
# Starting BackupPC: Can't locate BackupPC/Lib.pm in @INC () BEGIN
failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/BackupPC line 60.

Any ideas as to what might be wrong here?
