SS7 Rpm forgets JSON::XS

[pfarrell]

I've been running SS7 for a while now, and decided to get current again. The initial install was a bit of a challenge, mostly because my SlimServer box runs Mandriva, and the Mandriva folks seem to make my life difficult.

I installed it initially from the tarball, did the manual CPAN tricks, got it working.

Just tried to update using the RPM and it complains
Starting SlimServer: The following modules failed to load: JSON::XS

I don't know if this is supposed to work, using an RPM on top of a tarball. I'd like to get out of the tarball cycle.

Thanks
Pat

tried the usual
./build-perl-modules.pl
and after many warnings and errors, it wrote out

make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
Couldn't find a valid dynamic library for XML-Parser-2.34.tar.gz - something is wrong. Exiting!

So I'll remove the RPM and try the tarball again

Are you on an architecture that can't use the prebuilt binary
modules? If so you need to run build-perl-modules.

Architecture, nope, just boring old AMD x86.
See second note, build-perl-modules has no joy either

Do you have libexpat-dev (or whatever the rpm is called) installed?

Do you have libexpat-dev (or whatever the rpm is called) installed?

Now I do. Most strange, I had been running SS7 for about ten days, since I got my Jive-remote.

For the record, the two RPMs are

libexpat0-1.95.8-3mdk
libexpat0-devel-1.95.8-3mdk

Now, its complaining about MySql, so more as I know more.

I find that checking out the latest from subversion is the best way to
remain current.

R.

[pfarrell]

OK, I'm game.
Do you just use SVN to load directly into your /usr/local/slimserver tree? or do you check it out into a sandbox and setup a softlink to from /usr/local to the sandbox?

[pfarrell]

Just checked out 13298.
to a sandbox, ran Bin/build-perl-modules.pl
said all is OK. MySql still unhappy

[00:10:59.8065] main::init (307) SlimServer MySQL init...
[00:11:29.4159] Slim::Utils::MySQLHelper::createSystemTables (432) FATAL: Couldn't connect to database: [Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/slimserver/Cache/slimserver-mysql.sock' (2)]
[00:11:29.4172] Slim::bootstrap::theEND (338) Got to the END

While Mysql seems to be up and running there is no SS schema defined. Perhaps this could be a my.cnf problem?

Mysql version 5.0.24a-log
