Use Perl 5.6.0 (Build 620) You can download it at http://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.6/ActivePerl-5.6.0.620-MSWin 32-x86-multi-thread.msi I've had the same problem with the later builds of Perl on Windows Amanda -----Original Message----- From: Chirhart, Brian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 5:39 PM To: 'rrd-users@list.ee.ethz.ch' Subject: [rrd-users] Problems installing RRDs.pm Before I get any "RTFM" and "Did you look in the archives?".... let me say that I have been working this for 2 days and I have done both.... several times. First my info: Win2K Perl 5.8.0 (activestate) RRDTool - 1.0.40 (downloaded rrdtool-1.0.40.x86distr.zip) In the manual "README-X86-NT" it states that you need Perl 5.6 - does RRDTool NOT work in 5.8? I could have sworn that I used to have it running in 5.8 before the "black wednesday" system crash took everything. The file also says that you can type "ppm install rrds.ppd" to install RRDS.ppd, but this is not true. CPAN does not carry that PPD file anymore (I guess) - But by doing a "REP ADD .../perl-shared" command, then install 1, it will find the file, but fail in the install with "ERROR: No sutible installation target found for package RRDs". Is it a bad RRDs.pm file? I found nothing on the web (google groups, etc...) addressing that except for some people having the same problem with some other PPD files. I tried some of their suggestions, but nothing was fruitful. In an attempt to get it working, I have copied several things in to different locations. I think this was more of a mistake than anything, so I plan on removing and reinstalling Perl. Can someone please tell me how they have been successful installing RRDs.pm or (more helpful!!) what I need to do to get RRDTool installed if I am missing something? Do I need to do the NTMake or the Makefile? I don't think so since I already have the RRDs.pm, correct? Any help on this will bring much praise of your name in our office... Not that that would do you any good, but you might get a warm fuzzy feeling....
