- ----- A long question with (I hope) a simple answer: On my LM 8.1 system I have to install a newer version of autoconf. Using the rpm from rpmfind.net for autoconf 2.53-7, it says that it requires perl >= 5.6.0. LM 8.1 rpm says that it has perl 5.601-6mdk installed, which I take to mean that it meets the criterion. However, when I try to install the autoconf rpm, the Software Manager refuses, complaining that the installation needs perl "File::Compare <>=S", and a relatively short list of similar errors, but with no indication of what perl rpm is needed. Since there are roughly a bzillion perl rpms of various kinds floating around, I don't want to start messing with those unless I have a better idea of exactly what I am supposed to do, otherwise I can easily imagine myself ending up with a completely broken perl. (Normally, rpm seems pretty good at telling me what version of what rpms are necessary to install a new pakage; it seems a bit odd that this time it just has this stuff about "File::Compare", etc. without giving me any more info about what I need to do.) So, does anyone have version 2.53 of autoconf running on an LM 8.1 system; and if so, what perl rpms did you install to do it? Doc - ----- PS Why does the reflector seem to be so unreliable? I have noticed that at least some others have mentioned having problems posting to it in recent months. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: Key obtainable from servers: ID 0x362912B8 iQA/AwUBPXOYLGnXrLw2KRK4EQIJCACgyXzAmm22eug0v4o4BKWg2wlGGsMAoI4R bqGUMTzmLPe388UO94H/3yIL =0rHi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
