Hi Having somewhat reluctantly to update from 6.3.1 (the last working server software for me) in order to use the latest addition to my SB collection (this time a Duet), I expected Perl problems with getting SC 7.2 to work, and this seems to be the case and I'm stuck. Any help would be welcome.
Having updated Perl, running slimserver gave a list of missing modules, DBD::mysql DBI XML::Parser::Expat HTML::Parser JSON::XS Digest::SHA1 YAML::Syck GD, and instructions for how to download them. Fair enough so I did that, and the Mysql install then barfed as it was looking for a wrong version of DBI (1.50 instead of 1.604). Fixed the expected version in build-perl-modules.pl and everything went fine except for GD. GD is required, yet 'build-perl-modules.pl GD' does nothing and I'm not sure what to change to install GD. I tried adding 'GD' => 'GD-2.41.tar.gz' to the array of packages, which seemed like a fair guess as it's the current version, but the package didn't get downloaded. Any ideas on this? Also, I'm wondering how are other people are getting a working version of SC 7.2 when there are the basic bugs above in the install? Reading some other posts I'm also wondering whether Perl 5.10 is going to be a problem as well. Hopefully not as 5.8.7 was segfaulting so switching to the latest release Perl seemed reasonable. -- ioncube ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ioncube's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2212 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53218 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
