Hi 4mula1, thanks for your feedback! So, once gzip/untarred to /usr/local/slimserver...what then...? I get errors whether I use Blastwave Perl or the default install of Perl (not tried compilling that yet): The following modules failed to load: YAML::Syck To download and compile them, please run: /usr/local/SlimServer/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl YAML::Syck I guessed which other packages I needed from Blastwave, but it seems even though I installed one with the right-sounding title, it isn't being picked up (despite my PATH - btw, should LD_LIBRARY_PATH be pointing anywhere? Blastwave install suggest not). I downloaded the YAML::Syck source from CPAN, and tried to use build-perl-modules.pl, but I get this error: Can't locate File/Which.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/slimserver/CPAN CPAN /opt/csw/lib/perl/5.8.8 /opt/csw/share/perl/5.8.8 /opt/csw/lib/perl/site_perl /opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl /opt/csw/lib/perl/csw /opt/csw/share/perl/csw .) at /usr/local/SlimServer/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl line 20. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/SlimServer/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl line 20. Any thoughts?
