Centos can't locate bootstrap.pm

[paulbj]

Hi

I tried running "service logitechmediaserver start" but that failed with an unrecognised service error. However, when I ran "service squeezeboxserver start", it ran and the server started and is now responing just fine!

Many thanks...problem solved!

Cheers

Paul

I knew it couldn't be that easy....all I have to do now is figure out how to get the Squeezebox server to accept a network path as a location for my music files and I will be home and dry. At the moment it only wants to look on my local machine drives which is absolutely no use to me whatsoever. Damn!

Cheers

Permissions ? The Squeezeboxserver user may not be allowed to read , have a look on how the share is mounted to the OS and it's permission.

Mount the network path via fstab. LMS won't have a problem with it then.

..And if that did work, then I'd say you guys have uncovered a bug in the rpm package.

I suspect this is indeed the case.

I have just done a fresh install of logitechmediaserver-7.7.1-1.noarch onto a minimal CentOS 6.2 x86_64 install, and I get the same error as the OP:

$ sudo service squeezeboxserver start
Starting Squeezebox Server: Can't locate Slim/bootstrap.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libexec /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver line 137.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver line 137.
[FAILED]

Looks like the RPM is fubar.

Also, the logitechmediaserver RPM does not pull in any additional RPMs when it is installed - shouldn't it make sure various dependencies are satisfied?

if you are running 64bit centos (6.2 in my case), this might help:

Thanks Paul - I'll give that a go.

You know, I always used to say that Slim should do something about their RPM packaging. It's just crazy having one .noarch RPM that isn't - it's 32-bit. If they made it a .i386 package and added the necessary dependencies then that wouldn't be so bad. But the current package is just a mess.

I'll see if I can make time to hack on the .spec file and produce something sensible.
