Continued Encode::Detect::Detector problems -- Help!

[aubuti]

Back around Oct 12, with the help of Andy G, I was able to get SC7 running on my PPC-based LinkStation HG. But then a week or so later there were changes and I haven't been able to update SC7 since. The problem seems to lie with the Encode:etect:etector module. I'm probably missing some library or other, but haven't been able to figure out what. I'm running perl 5.8.8, and just upgraded my CPAN.pm to 1.9204.

Here's the beginning and end of the terminal output. The full log is in the attached zip file. I'd really appreciate some help here. Thanks in advance.

The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with SqueezeCenter:
Encode:etect:etector (loaded 1.00 but missing object file, need 1.00)

To fix this problem you have several options:
1. Install the latest version of the module(s) using CPAN: sudo cpan Some::Module
2. Update the module's package using apt-get, yum, etc.
3. Run the .tar.gz version of SqueezeCenter which includes all required CPAN modules.

I'm going to make Encode:etect optional again, looking at the CPAN
test stats it's obvious this module doesn't work in a lot of places.

[aubuti]

Thanks Andy -- look forward to seeing it. Will it be in the next nightly, or will it take longer than that?

Next nightly, but you can make the change yourself but just deleting
Encode:etect:etector from the file modules.conf.

[aubuti]

Excellent. Will do.

Hello Andy,

I'm confused if you made Encode:etect optional why even when I comment it out of build-perl-modules.pl do I get this error when running ./slimserver.pl

It *was* optional, but this module was made required several months back (back in 7.0.1 I believe). See this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44891

Michael H also suggested a workaround, which is what I've been using for the one box I have for which there does not exist a functioning build of this module (because it has a PowerPC processor). The patch goes in Slim::Utils::Unicode to revert that change:
http://svn.slimdevices.com/7.0/trunk...16112&r2=17825

[alekz]

Just comment out the line with Encode:etect:etector in /usr/local/squeezecenter-7.1/Slim/Utils/Unicode.pm (line 40)

Also, see here: http://www.alekz.net/archives/75

This workaround doesn't seem to work for me with the squeezecenter-7.2-22756.tgz installed.

1. I've checked my Modules.conf:

# This file contains required minimum module versions and is checked
# every time SqueezeCenter starts up.

No detector line in this file for me.

2. I've placed an # before the detector line in \Slim\Utils\Unicode.pm

But squeezecenter won't start and gives this in the logfile:
0011: [08-08-20 09:00:58 ] ssctrl failed to start SqueezeCenter.
0010:
0009: 3. Run the .tar.gz version of SqueezeCenter which includes all required CPAN modules.

Any solutions?
