FIX: problem making .21
Well, I was finally able to get it to work by making a bunch of changes to the Makefile. Then I also had to copy the binary stuff by hand ( mv ./blib/arch/auto/DateTime /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread- multi/auto/.). Here are the changes I had to make in case anyone is interested... I don't know why the Makefile got so mashed, but it looks like it did. I don't usually have any trouble building stuff, so it seems like something maybe wrong with Makefile.PL? Dunno... thanks, ken.

Hi guys, I'm still a relative newbie, but I'm having a problem installing DateTime... I tried to install via cpan but got an error so popped out to the directory to try manually... Here's what I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DateTime-0.21]# perl Makefile.PL Testing if you have a C compiler Makefile:96: *** missing separator. Stop. I cannot determine if you have a C compiler so I will install a perl-only implementation You can force installation of the XS version with perl Makefile.PL --xs Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program. Please make sure, your pod2man program is in your PATH before you execute 'make' Writing Makefile for DateTime [EMAIL PROTECTED] DateTime-0.21]# I do fershure have a c compiler... So I tried: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DateTime-0.21]# perl Makefile.PL --xs Writing Makefile for DateTime [EMAIL PROTECTED] DateTime-0.21]# so far so good... then: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DateTime-0.21]# make Makefile:96: *** missing separator. Stop. [EMAIL PROTECTED] DateTime-0.21]# hmm... So not to be deterred, I looked at line 96 of the makefile and here's the weird stuff I find: 94:installhtml1dir='' 95:installhtml3dir='' 96:installman1 97:INSTALLSITEBIN = /usr 98:INSTALLVENDORBIN = /usr/bin' (line numbers mine)... So notice the hanging apostrophe on line 98... there are many lines with unmatched apostrophes... So I did what anyone who doesn't have a clue would do and edited the Makefile and took out all of the 'extra' apostrophes... On line 248 and 249 is: SHELL = /bin/sh' shar=' 108 and 109: LIBPERL_A = libperl.a' libc=' and 101: installvendorlib='/u etc... So after some guess editing, I was able to run make. But none of the tests pass and I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GCX]$ perl testdate.pl Can't locate loadable object for module DateTime in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux- thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386- linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux- thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/XSLoader.pm line 44 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/DateTime.pm line 44. Compilation failed in require at testdate.pl line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at testdate.pl line 1. Which makes sense since I guess the c stuff isn't getting compiled... anyhow, all of this to me seems to be a problem with the Makefile? But I'm afraid I don't know where to go from here. This is on Redhat Linux 9, perl 5.8.0 on i386. Thanks a lot! ken. Happy to post any files that might be helpful... -- Ken Burcham Ken Burcham Consulting, Inc. http://www.capemaystation.com

I think you may have a broken Config.pm file, which is the module that Perl uses to store information about the system it was compiled on. This info is used to generate these makefiles. You might want to check that file out and see if contains something like /usr/bin' with that extra apostrophe. Also, maybe try upgrading to the latest version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker and see if that fixes anything. -dave /*=== House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com ===*/

The problem is that CPAN.pm is trying to auto-reconfigure itself, and failing miserably when using the default responses to all questions (there's no default continent, so it keeps asking the user to provide one). Making the build tool prefer Build.PL wouldn't help matters here unless they've already got Module::Build installed on that machine. -Ken
RE: Windows PPM release?
Hi All,
I guess I should chime in on this.

Hmn!! Automated tool :) I wish we had one :)
Well, I have started something along the lines of an
automated tool. It is by far no means ready for production but
it kinda works.
It took some time (to write the script) but I was able
to generate ppm's for the following:

Now, what can I do with these? I do not have a web page to put them
on. Grant it this needs a lot of work, but it is a start. Comments,
suggestions on how to proceed let me know.
(I'm tried :( )
Thanks
