That is a path problem. If you are working with the source, cd into your source directory and run "./slimserver.pl -d_startup". But it sounds like you installed from a .deb, in which case slimserver.pl is not installed, so this probably won't help. You can try "slimserver -d_startup", but looking at this I'll bet it won't work: brm;210418 Wrote: > > Using the development version of the slimserver software, the runtime > compile of the Perl scripts fails: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ slimserver > dirsFor: Didn't find a match request: [prefs] > Use of uninitialized value in join or string at > /usr/share/perl/5.8/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 37. > Can't locate JSON.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/slimserver/lib > /usr/sbin /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 > /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 > /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at > /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Web/JSONRPC.pm line 17. > This is saying it can't locate JSON.pm. It appears that JSON.pm is supplied by the package libjson-perl, tho that package also supplies JSONRPC.pm, which is supplied in the slimserver. My best guess is that you've got a packaging problem -- either slimserver's missing a file that it should include, or it's missing a dependency on libjson-perl. If you aren't afraid to test, install libjson-perl and see if that fixes it. Then file a bug against the slimserver package. -- scotsghost ------------------------------------------------------------------------ scotsghost's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12279 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36295 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
