SBS 7.4 and problems loading modules

[andifor]

Hi

I installed the 7.4 tar ball with CPAN.
Running slimserver.pl with the same options as my 7.3.3 version, I get the following error:


"The following modules failed to load: EV YAML::Syck GD Sub::Name
"To download and compile them, please run: /opt/squeezeboxserver-7.4.0-28672/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl EV YAML::Syck GD Sub::Name
"Exiting..


As I did install 7.4 with CPAN, I can see EV.pm, GD/ and GD.pm, YAML/syck.pm and Sub/Name.pm in the squeezeboxservers CPAN directory. What is wrong here, do I need to set some additional perl library path?

Thanks for any help,
andifor

7.4 has a lot of new and updated modules. If you want to run from
source on a platform we don't directly support, you will need to
compile them. You may want to look at the vendor/CPAN/buildme.sh
script too, it's a bit better than build-perl-modules.

Thanks, that was fast!

I'm building them now... but how should I build GD on a server? Dependency asks for Xpm and X11, but I don't run X11 on my server... :-?

And I can install YAML::Syck but I still have the "modules failed" error on this module.

The old trick of renaming the squeezebox/CPAN/YAML/Syck.pm did work here. But I think, I have to install X server to compile GD... :-(

For GD you should use buildme.sh, it builds all the dependencies needed.

The only shell script I found is Bin/build-perl-modules.pl. I'll try that one.

You'll have to check it out: http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/sli...nk/vendor/CPAN

Gosh... silly me :-)

Where do I get this buildme.sh??

Ok, I compiled and installed all the needed dependencies for GD. Now, I have to update some of the other modules...

Still I'm surprised I have to update some modules like DBI, HTML::Parser, or JSAN::XS. Are these all binary modules? Anyway, I let you know about my success :-)

No success :-(

Did you change the database backend?

+ some backtraces, should I post them? Do you have time for analysis?

Thanks so far!
