Hi Bruce and Carlo,
That was fast! Thanks a lot, IT WORKED. I could never have thought about
it by myself. Needless to say, this mailing list has become amazingly useful
for people like me.
Bruce: Thanks for your nice gesture. I have nicely settled down in
Princeton. I will see you at APS whenever I come next. Also, I am now going
to work on installing EASE, which I have heard is non-trivial (never done it
myself before, Shelly made it work on my previous computer and had Igor as a
live Tech Support). So I might have more questions for you on that. I hope,
I won't need to bother you much.
BTW, with due respect to Debian and Ubuntu, FC 5 is a really sweet and user
friendly platform.
Cheers,
Bhoopesh

Boopesh,
I just managed to reproduce your error on my computer and attempted to apply my suggestion:
Here is my suggestion.
1. cd down into 0CPAN/Chemistry-Elements-1.01/ in the source code tarball. 2. do the "perl Makefile.PL; make; make install" incantation for Chemistry::Elements 3. cd back up to the main directory and try building all of horae again with Chemistry::Elements installed
That's not quite right. Try this:
1. cd down into 0CPAN/Chemistry-Elements-1.01/ in the source code tarball.
** 2. rm -rf blib Makefile pm_to_blib **
3. do the "perl Makefile.PL; make; make install" incantation for Chemistry::Elements 4. cd back up to the main directory and try building all of horae again with Chemistry::Elements installed
If you don't clean up some of the detritus from the earlier attempt to get this installed, then step 3 does not work correctly.
And, in response to Carlo's comment: this underscores a significant advantage to the debian approach of package management. Boopesh's problem would not have happened on a debian system. I am, however, compelled to try to provide system-agnostic build scripts in my perl packages. That said, I could use the CPAN module to resolve horae's requirements. That, however, would require building as root and having the user correctly configure the CPAN.pmmodule. That configuration isn't a trivial chore even for me!
