LWP install
Please pardon my newbie foolishness Have a 10.2 Server system and am trying to install the LWP module via CPAN. This worked fine under a 10.1.5 system on a different machine (once I su'ed to root). su root Using: perl -MCPAN -eshell to get to CPAN Then use the default setup for the CPAN configuration (which worked before).. Then use: install Bundle::LWP Appears to download and decompress fine, but when it comes to making / building get a plethora of errors of the type: Warning: prerequisite HTML::HeadParser failed to load: Can't locate HTML/HeadParser.pm in INC (INC contains: /System/Library/Perl/darwin /System/Library/Perl /Library/Perl/darwin /Library/Perl /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/darwin /Network/Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl .) at (eval 5) line 3.

Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code. It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case, please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It usually solves this kind of problem. (You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/perl.h) Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install Bundle summary: The following items in bundle Bundle::LWP had installation problems: MIME::Base64 Digest::MD5 Net::FTP HTML::Tagset HTML::Parser HTML::HeadParser LWP Does this mean Perl needs to be re-installed? Or is it merely a configuration problem? Did also try: install Bundle:CPAN and install Bundle:libnet These too could download but produced similar errors... Can anybody help? Much thanks, Tom Holland.

Re: LWP install
I had the same problems. The readme talks about other required modules and then those talk about others. It's a recursive exercise apparently done for us in the MacPerl world. (Thanks Chris) After a couple of hours I found my way thru CPAN getting one missing module at a time. It appears that the warning messages just point out things you can install afterwards though. The URI and HeadParser aka the HTML module are pretty much required. Base64 and FTP seem not to be used for LWP::simple.

Re: LWP install
Actually Chuck sent this to me. This is one of those lists that has a hangup about changing the reply to: header so that it defaults to the list. Someday I'll learn about bundles but as of now it's up to someone else to answer. And - while were at it? Is there a document somewhere that talks about just where modules ought to be installed. I can find no evidence of /site-perl/ on my system and there are at least three /Library/ folders buried in the perl zoo. The make-install procedures seem to have a mind of their own and I have no idea where things are going.

I just installed Bundle::Slash and it seemed to download all the necessary modules. BTW, if anyone has Slash going on their system please email me. I have it installed and would like some advice on how to set it up.

It's a recursive exercise Only if you're determined to do it the hard way. If you use the CPAN shell, it follows dependencies for you, installing everything that's needed. Just enter 'install Bundle::LWP' and you're done. It appears that the warning messages just point out things you can install afterwards though. Umm - no. The warning messages that started this thread, specifically the one that reads (You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/perl.h), point out that the developer tools are not installed. If the developer tools were installed, prerequisite Perl modules are a non-issue and would have been installed automatically. sherm-- If you listen to a UNIX shell, can you hear the C?
