RE: [ic] Problems installing

[Terese Elbring <atlantis@belowsealevel.org>]

Hi Again,

I recently installed v. 4.8.1 modules without being root.  
http://ic.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?id=9FrP6ATq&mv_arg=icinstall
06%2e00 addresses this.  My installopts file looked like this:

PREFIX=/apache/htdocs/interchange \
INSTALLPRIVLIB=/apache/htdocs/interchange/lib \
INSTALLSCRIPT=/apache/htdocs/interchange/bin \
INSTALLSITELIB=/apache/htdocs/interchange/lib \
INSTALLBIN=/apache/htdocs/interchange/bin \
INSTALLMAN1DIR=/apache/htdocs/interchange/lib/man \
INSTALLMAN3DIR=/apache/htdocs/interchange/lib/man/man3

you would of course replace /apache/htdocs with the actual path to where 
you are installing interchange.  At the end of the 'make install' I 
believe the cpan_local_install script is run, and it attempts to 
automatically download and install the necessary perl modules using CPAN, 
beginning with Bundle::Interchange.

Of Special Attention perhaps specific only to my installation:
1.  I had to run 'make install' twice for interchange to recognize that I 
had all the necessary modules available, and copy the tlink, vlink etc to 
the interchange/src directory.  
2.   Just like the cpan_local_install script warned, it did try to 
install a new version of Perl on my machine.  I simply CTRL-C at the 
point of the installation wherein the CPAN install pauses to begin asking 
for the configuration variables for the Perl installation (it's a rather 
long message, you won't miss it).  This may be why the fist 'make 
install' does not complete successfully, I don't know.
3.  I was also having Safe::Hole errors before doing the installation in 
this fashion.

I hope this is helpful!!

Terese
