Hi I've read through the archives and could not find many good stories on windows xp installs. I have had a recent steep learning curve, and have muddled through it. I now find myself stuck in about 3 feet of mud and need an escape before I give up and go buy a mac :)
So, here is what I've done so far. 1. Learned about gzip, untar 2. Installed and started apache 2.2.6 3 Installed and started postgres sql 8.2.5 4. Installed and built dmake 5. Installed active perl 6. Uninstalled active perl :) 7. Installed perl 5.8.8 (vanilla-perl) 8. Downloaded what appears to be 1.2.99 from the ledger-smb.org site 9. Found the README file 10.Learned about "perl build.pl" 11.Discovered CPAN (many times) 12. Built every dependency EXCEPT for DBD::Pg 13. Slept 6 hrs, started again... This is where I am stuck. I have tried CPAN DBD::Pg (Forgot what went wrong after 2 hrs of research) I have tried downloading the PG-1.49 source for windows (2x) [both appear to make and compile fine, but fail the signature test and the Use DBG::Pg tests] There is a strange error. I say strange because the system fails to load pg.dll even though pg.dll is in the specified location Can't load 'C:\dbd\DBD-Pg-1.49\blib\arch/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.dll' for module DBD::Pg: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/vanilla-perl/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230. See attachment DBFTestfail.png What's strange is that pg.dll IS in that location AND notice the / after "arch" that should be a \ I even modified the makefile.pl where this is specified, after which make failed miserably.... So, I installed the component anyway, successfully, and then guess what perl admin.pl turned up: install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't load 'C:/vanilla-perl/perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Pg /Pg.dll' for module DBD::Pg: load_file:The specified module could not be found a t C:/vanilla-perl/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230. Same error message, but correct slashes and the file is really there as well... See Attachment AdminFail.png Final questions: Is there a windows template of ledgersmb.conf, I had to guess on a lot of settings Most of all, what is the database name? Is it host, localhost or the database instance in pg_adminIII? DBI_DSN=dbi:Pg:dbname=postgres DBI_PASS=postgres DBI_USER=postgres Thanks, I hope there is a guru out there to get me past this roadblock .... - Ken G ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
