ok so in my quest to create a virginal perl install, I've run into some little snags.
On SC 7.3.3, running the build-perl-modules.pl script, I have hit this: Downloading Encode-Detect-1.00.tar.gz to: /tmp/biteme Uncompressing.. Configuring.. /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL - ERROR: Archive::Tar is not installed * Optional prerequisite Module::Signature is not installed * Optional prerequisite Pod::Readme is not installed Yep, having a clean perl slate is bound to run into some empty prereqs. Ok, I'll install Archive::Tar, why not! [silo:/tmp/Archive/Tar-1.52] > perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: prerequisite Compress::Zlib 2.015 not found. We have 1.41. Warning: prerequisite IO::Zlib 1.01 not found. Writing Makefile for Archive::Tar So, what to do? SC seems to be sensitive to perl modules that are too new. SC wants (and installed) Compress::Zlib 1.41. Archive::Tar 1.52 doesn't want anything below Compress::Zlib 2.015. I love a good Catch-22 Any suggestions? Anyone know which version of Archive::Tar doesn't mind and older Compress::Zlib? Should I just force these things and ignore it? -- mbw23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mbw23's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65565 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
