ActivePerl 617 and GD.ppd
I tried to install gd (http://www.activestate.com/packages) on build 617, but it keeps telling me: Error installing package 'GD.ppd': Could not locate a PPM binary of 'GD.ppd' for this platform. This same package works well for build 522 (which is why I am still using build 522). I would like to try upgrade to 617, but this problem is bugging me. Any suggestions? Btw, I had to download the gd.ppd as well as the corresponding zips/ and x86/ files into my own machine because of firewall issues. regards, Ji-Haw, Foo Network Engineer (AP) -Original Message- From: Gerald Richter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2000 2:35 PM To: Foo, Ji Haw; 'Randy Kobes'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ActivePerl mod_perl ppd available This is great news. I suppose ActivePerl's mod_perl ppd is compatible with its build 522? It's tested with build 617, but we are happy about your feedback, if it works also with build 522 Gerald - Gerald Richterecos electronic communication services gmbh Internetconnect * Webserver/-design/-datenbanken * Consulting Post: Tulpenstrasse 5 D-55276 Dienheim b.

Say you put the ppd file in C:/temp, then you will need to put the corresponding .tar.gz file in C:/temp/x86 for ppm to work right. At least I think thats how it works... -- Matt/ Fastnet Software Ltd.

RE: ActivePerl 617 and GD.ppd
Did exactly that. Which is why I was surprised that build 522 works well but not 617. Keeps telling me I got the wrong platform. regards, Ji-Haw, Foo Network Engineer (AP) -Original Message- From: Matt Sergeant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2000 3:44 PM To: Foo, Ji Haw Cc: 'Randy Kobes'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ActivePerl 617 and GD.ppd On Wed, 13 Sep 2000, Foo, Ji Haw wrote: I tried to install gd (http://www.activestate.com/packages) on build 617, but it keeps telling me: Error installing package 'GD.ppd': Could not locate a PPM binary of 'GD.ppd' for this platform.

Ah, maybe ppm's have started specifying the architecture too (I was always bugging them about that)... Check the ppd file, it should be obvious. -- Matt/ Fastnet Software Ltd.
