Re: [slim] SC 7.2 wants GD but won't download it. Ideas?
I think this might be: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6143 I produce the package for Gentoo and as a workaround I have to install my distribution's GD package and then run build-perl-modules.pl. Stuart ioncube wrote: 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. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Is this Linux? If so, what distro and arch? Sometimes the easiest way to get GD is to install it from a repo for your distro instead of compiling it... -- Fletch Fletch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 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
Re: [slim] SC 7.2 wants GD but won't download it. Ideas?
Thanks for the quick replies. It's derived from SuSE 10.0 on x86-64, but I've made various source updates since then preferring to do that than stick rigidly to RPMs, particularly when Novel sometimes push out bogus builds (e.g. their PHP 5.1.2 build). I did just install GD and got past the first issue but there are some other problems, and again, any ideas would be welcome. First there was a problem with Encode::Detect::Detector so I commented out that in Unicode.pm, and now I get Useless use of a constant in void context at /home/nick/squeezecenter-7.2/Slim/Networking/Slimproto.pm line 129 and a warning about Template::Stash::XS not found. I can probably fix that, however when I try to connect from a web browser I get Slim::Networking::IO::Select::select (250) Error: Select task failed: Can't call method process on an undefined value at /home/nick/squeezecenter-7.2/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 2406. and also a checksum error on jive_7.2_r2873.bin that I'd seen mentioned elsewhere a few days ago when reading about the Duet. Any ideas on the connection issue? I pretty much used the defaults when building Perl 5.10, but perhaps there's a build related option or setting that's important. And one other issue, the Duet controller says that there's an update but then fails to obtain it. Any ideas on that one? It does have 7.2 r2873 so maybe there isn't really any update? -- 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

Precompiled versions of these required perl binaries are included with SC in CPAN/arch/... You might want to first try starting SC with --d_startup to figure out why your installation can't seem to find them. -- Fletch Fletch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 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

CPAN/arch has directories 5.10 and 5.8 for x86_64-linux-thread-multi. After downloading most of the modules, 5.10.0/x86_64-linux was created. So I'm suspecting that the Perl build isn't threaded, and for some reason the minor revision number isn't being ignored by SC hence creating and looking for 5.10.0 instead of 5.10. I'll look at rebuilding Perl first of all. -- 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
