Hi Boopesh, Good to hear from you. I trust you are getting all settled into your new position at Delaware. On Monday 11 September 2006 17:18, Bhoopesh Mishra wrote:
Dear All, I am in the process of installing Ifeffit 1.2.9 with latest Horae package (-062) on my a new machine on which I have put Fedora core 5.
<snip>
In the manual installation of horae_061, perl Makefile.PL works fine. But "make" does not complete. It terminates with the same error message as the one with which ./horae_update terminated. (attached as a screenshot)
I have attached the screenshots of the error message for horae_update. I have also attached screenshots of "make install" and "make test" for Tk-804-027 just in case you would like to see that.
As near as I can tell, this is my fault. That is, I think I am making a mistake in the build scripts. The part that confuses me is why I have never run into this problem before. Here is what I *think* the problem is, although I am not 100% certain. One of the things in the 0CPAN directory of the tarball is a CPAN module called Chemistry::Elements. This is required by all three of my programs for a variety of chores. It is also required by a part of build script. Thus, I have created a bootstrap problem -- the build system install something needed 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.
