Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / August 2007LWP install error
Hello all, Have a new MBP, 17 inch :-) I need to install many many things new. First I installed a new Perl 5.8.8 in /usr/local/ - Apple's OSX is up-to-date and Xcode installed! First something, where I am not sure about: I made % mv /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl_out % ln /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 /usr/bin/perl Is this right? Now, my question about installing LWP: I tried to install LWP with cpan, but got some test-errors (end of posting). Then I tried to install everything by hand. The modules, which are needed before the install of LWP I installed by hand: URI MIME-Base64 HTML-Parser libnet Digest-MD5 Compress-Zlib Out of my folder: /usr/local/src/ But now the same errors from "make test" as before (end of posting). I thought probably I have to switch on the Apache-Server and I started the "Personal File Sharing" in my Sharing-Pref-Panel. Same errors! Could be somebody help me out?

This will have the effect of "/usr/bin/perl", or just "perl" in most PATHs, using your install rather than the Apple install, if that's what you mean by "right". However, you now have Apple code running against a Perl it wasn't tested with, and you are keeping around all of a Perl version that is no longer usable, just wasting disk space (since, to my knowledge, no programs start with #!/usr/bin/perl_out). I personally would undo your last two steps, and just write your programs to use #!/usr/local/bin/perl, and adjust your PATH so that /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin. That way, code written for Macs that expects #!/usr/bin/perl to be the Apple-supplied Perl will continue to work as expected.

In fact, /usr/bin/perl is by default just a link to /usr/bin/perl5.8.8. > live/apache.t 1 1 1 > live/jigsaw-md5-get.t 2 1 2 > live/jigsaw-md5.t 2 1 2 > Failed 3/41 test scripts. 3/831 subtests failed. I recall some talk about server-side problems with some of LWP's "live" tests. If I recall right, when you're configuring the module there's a prompt about whether to skip those or run them. sherm-- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net >> live/apache.t 1 1 1 >> live/jigsaw-md5-get.t 2 1 2 [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > sherm-- Thank you Sherm! This was it: % You appear to be directly connected to the Internet. I have some tests that tries to access some sites on the net to verify that the new HTTP/1.1 support works as it should. Do you want to enable these tests? [y] n :-) One little supplemental question: %% echo $PATH /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/sw/include:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/bin:/sbin: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11R6/bin Where is the $PATH-file to push the /sw to the end? The path is not saved in .tcshrc nor .profile ... If I remember well it was somewhere in /Library? May I edit this file by hand?

Fink usually installs a line in your .profile that sources the Fink startup script. You could save $PATH t o $OLD_PATH before sourcing Fink's startup script, then after it runs just do $PATH="$OLD_PATH:/sw/ sbin:...etc..." with the additions at the end. sherm-- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net |
