Hi, This is probably a FAQ, but I am trying to resurrect the VMS SMG module.
My first question is, does anyone know how to reach Jean-claude Tebbal? I have tried: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (no such domain) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (unknown user) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (unknown user) I had used the smg module years ago, and tried to install it in the canonical fashion, on an ODS5 disk. That failed, so I tried it on an ODS2 disk, but I get the same set of errors (perl is installed on an ODS5 disk): ============= begin VMS session quote ========= j.0:friedb$ perl makefile.pl Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Unable to find a perl 5 (by these names: $5$dka303:[sys_utility.perl586.exe]perl.exe;1 perl.exe perl5.exe perl5_8_6.exe miniperl.exe , in these dirs: perl_root:[000000]) Writing Descrip.MMS for smg $ mms %DCL-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling \0\ %MMS-F-ABORT, For target [.BLIB.LIB].EXISTS, CLI returned abort status: %X00038090. -CLI-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling ============= end VMS session quote ========== For the first problem, in makefile.pl, the first location listed does have the production version of perl 5.8.6. Any thoughts appreciated.
