Hi all, I setup a Slackware 11.0 box with SS 6.5.0 for a friend of mine last year. Now he'd like me to upgrade it to 7.0. "Fine", I said, thinking that this would be fairly easy. I've done it myself very recently on Slackware 12.0, with no significant problems.
After over 2 hours of running around trying to satisfy various dependancies and swearing at Perl, I'm still stumped by GD. When I try to start slimserver.pl (with any options or with none), it immediately chokes and says I don't have the GD module installed. Nothing is written to the logfile. It tells me to run "Bin/build-perl-modules.pl GD", which I do. This then asks the usual questions and *immediately* says "All done!" and exits. I've removed GD manually (deleting .pm files etc) and I've gone through the CPAN make/make test/make install process repeatedly. Everytime I get to make test, GD fails all of the tests. I have recent versions of cairo, pango, libX11, libXpm and more. I tried to manually compile fontconfig (no Slackware package that I could find) and that fails with a cryptic error too. Someone *please* tell me how to get GD working. This is driving me mad :( HB -- Harry Bo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harry Bo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7342 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45968 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
