Hi, I have tried to install wxPerl on Ubuntu 7.10 but as far as I could find there is no such Ubuntu package.
So I tried CPAN.pm it tried to also install Alien-wxWidgets-0.35 The following questions I answered with an ENTER: Do you want to build wxWidgets? [yes ] Which archive type? [tar.gz ] Do you want to include OpenGL support [no ] and I got Fetching wxWidgets... fetching from: ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.8.7/wxWidgets-2.8.7.tar.gz Fetch failed! HTTP response: 500 Internal Server Error [500 LWP::Protocol::MyFTP: Bad hostname 'biolpc22.york.ac.uk'] which worries me as I thought CPAN modules should not dial out and download stuff from other places. If for nothing else because this creates a single point of failure in installing wxPerl. Anyway, it seemed to continue after that but in the end I got Failed during this command: MBARBON/Alien-wxWidgets-0.35.tar.gz : install NO MBARBON/Wx-0.82.tar.gz : make NO I can send the full log but I hope that oters might already have a pointer on how to proceed? regards Gabor
