AlienBBC and Mac latest installation instructions

[Andy Palmer]

Hi Daniel,

I've done a complete re-install of Panther on my iMac and followed your
instructions for setting up AlienBBC but am still having no luck :(
When I run transcoder_proxy.l from Terminal it spits out the following:

Can't locate HTTP/Daemon.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/Users/myusername/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/
server/CPAN /sw/lib/perl5/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level

transcoder_proxy.pl line 4.

transcoder_proxy.pl line 4.

Any ideas?

Daemon.pm is located in
Users/myusername/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/
server/CPAN/HTTP/

My transcoder_proxy.pl begins:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
-I/Users/myusername/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/
Contents/server/CPAN

use strict;
use HTTP::Daemon;
use HTTP::Status;
use IO::Handle;
use FileHandle;
use POSIX qw(:errno_h :sys_wait_h mkfifo strerror);

Andy.

Anyone else got any ideas? I don't particularly understand Perl
enough to debug, but the transcoder_proxy.pl file and the position of
Daemon.pm are exactly the same as my settings which work fine.

Also Daemon.pm is part of the SlimServer installation, I think, not
something added in AlienBBC installation, and those lines in
transcoder_proxy.pl were as they originally were (the -I bit has just
a slight change), so it shouldn't be anything odd in my instructions
or your installation.

Well It looks like a path problem. Are you sure you have the path
correctly entered in the script? I would however suggest you try the
current transcoder-less beta, which is working fine on my iMac G4. It's
a lot less bother than the previous version, I had to make a small mod
to mplayer.sh (see previous post), but the only other thing I did was
put a copy of mplayer in /usr/bin/. Works like a dream, as long as my
user account is logged in, it seems the mplayer I use will not run
headless.
