Marc,
I am really grateful that someone has put all this
information down in one place. It gave me confidence, at last, to go ahead
and try installing the slimserver on my linkstation.
Everything seemed to be going just fine, but I ran
into a problem right at the last step (under "testing and finishing")
.
I typed in: mnt/slimserver# ./slimserver.pl
--daemon --prefsfile /mnt/slim-data/slimserver.pref --cachedir /mnt/slim-data, as you
suggested,
but the following response came
up:
=====================================================

These packages are needed for SlimServer 6 to function. You will need a C compiler (gcc), make, and perl installed. *** Ignore any warnings about AppConfig. *** Please enter a perl binary to use (defaults to /usr/bin/perl) This must be the same perl binary that you ran this program with -->
=============================================================
As you can see, I tried running "mnt/slimserver# /mnt/slimserver/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl" as suggested by the program.
I tried typing in "slimserver.pl" when it asked for the perl binary, but this didn't work. I don't think I have a C compiler on my computer, and I don't know that the modules DBD::SQLite XML::Parser HTML::Parser Compress::Zlib are.
Any suggestions?

BTW, when I copied perl and the slimserver to the relevant directories, both files had a .tar.tar suffix rather than the .tar.gz suffix as listed in your notes. However "tar xzvf filename.tar.tar" (rather than "tar xzvf filename.tar.gz") seemed to work OK. |
