I just installed slimserver 6.5.0 on OpenBSD 3.9. I had no luck with using OpenBSD packages for the perl modules, so I tried build-perl-modules.pl. It failed with the useless message "There was a problem creating Makefile - exiting!"
I finally found the answer in the wiki. I'd like to suggest that build-perl-modules.pl be modified so it tries /usr/local/lib for expat, and so it will print a better error message if it can't find expat. I would do this myself but I'm no good with perl. Another problem I had was that there is no mysqld on OpenBSD. It's either mysqld_safe or _multi. This seems to be a quirk of the package. I used _safe because, well, it sounded safer. I have no idea what the difference is. Now that it's built, if I could only get the server to run I would be happy. -- rees ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rees's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3363 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28867 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
