by the build system itself. That's just me being lazy, but what's strange is that no one has run into this before (and, I suppose, explained it to me in a way that I understood).
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
The errors you saw testing perl/Tk are, I think, a red herring and have nothing to do with the main problem seen in the horae_update_error.png screenshot. And I don't think there are any more of these bootstrap surprises waiting for you, but I'm sure you'll let me know if there are ;-)
Let me know if that works. If so, I can fix the build scripts to solve that bootstrap problem.
I can confirm that Chemistry::Elements is required for building horae. I had to use it for the Debian pacakge. Carlo -- Carlo U.
