Centos Install, LMS 7.7.1

[phreak]

When starting the service
Service squeezeboxserver Start

I get

[peter@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost peter]# 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.

I have exactly the same issue. There is another thread also dealing with this problem. Search for "Centos 6" and you will find it (but probably not the solution).

Cheers

This happens if you try to run lms on 64bit centos - the package has been built (I think), with 32bit assumptions.

Anyway, as root, do this (all one one line)

ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim

It worked for me.

(you could also copy or move the Slim directory from /lib/ to /lib64/ but that would leave rpm confused....)

PS

if you dont alreay have it installed, you also may need to do

yum install perl-Time-HiRes

Thanks, that worked for me.

I also needed to install perl-CGI.

THANK YOU!! Worked perfectly. I have been a squeezebox user since the Slim Device guys were building SLIMP3s in a garage. This is the first time (in 10 years) I've had an issue I couldn't figure out on my own. I have a box stock, RHEL 6.2, 64-bit installation. Server installed via yum, media server 7.7.2-1. Obivously this RPM needs to be fixed. Thanks again. Neall

I'm trying to install LMS 7.7.2 on ClearOS 6.2 64-bit system. I have done the linking (ln -s ...), but I get this error - compilation aborted. Any suggestions?
