I'm sorry to junk up the list with this, but if anyone out there is
running a Debian Linux system, would you please contact me privately?
I've managed to mangle the hell out of my dpkg-perl and I can't find
anyone who can offer me any advice or assistance.

Thanks.

doesn't this just make the adjustment at compile time?  what i'm really
needing is something that will modify @INC for all time.  can that be
done?

how do i add new directories to @INC?  i've managed to bungle one of my
debian systems, and apt-get relies pretty heavily on some .pm's that
aren't in the stock @INC locations.

MCPAN, depending upon how it's configured, should follow dependencies.
However, in this instance, it didn't.  The XML package needed expat
(sourceforge.net/projects/expat).  Once I downloaded and installed that,
XML::Parser installed without a hitch.  The hard part was not getting the
dependencies installed . . . it was figuring out where the point of
failure was.

Thanks for assist.

I'm trying to install Bundle::XML.  Here's a quick rundown:

I noticed that many of the tests failed.  Where do I need to look in order
to figure out why this is failing?  I'm pretty new to MCPAN and am not at
all familiar with which log files are used, etc.

Thanks.

It turns out that perl -MCPAN wasn't completely installing the package.
However, while trying to manually install, I've run into the following
during make:

GnomeDEntryEdit.xs: In function
`XS_Gtk__Notebook_gnome_dentry_edit_new_notebook':
GnomeDEntryEdit.xs:23: too many arguments to function
`gnome_dentry_edit_new'

GnomeDEntryEdit.xs:40: too many arguments to function
`gnome_dentry_edit_new'
make: *** [xs/GnomeDEntryEdit.o] Error 1

Any ideas?  I've rarely had this much trouble installing a module.

@INC problems

2001-05-06 Thread Stephen E. Hargrove

i was wanting to start playing with gnome and perl, so using perl -MCPAN
- -e shell, i installed gnome.  everything went smoothly, but use gnome
results in the following error:

Can't locate Gnome.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at
./test.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./test.pl line 4.

i've also installed gnome.pm the old fashion way (make, make test, etc.),
and again, the installation goes without a hitch.

so apparently, i've installed it some place perl is not looking.  any
advice on how to gix this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
