logitechmediaserver not working on Fedora 17 for ARM

[dancinhomr]

Hi all - I'm trying to get logitechmediaserver / squeezeboxserver up and running on a F17 (ARM) box but am running into some problems. Attempting to start the service generates the following errors:

Jul 3 13:48:58 moe squeezeboxserver[2471]: Starting Squeezebox Server: The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with Logitech Media Server:
Jul 3 13:48:58 moe squeezeboxserver[2471]: Audio::Scan (loaded but missing object file, need 0.93)
Jul 3 13:48:58 moe squeezeboxserver[2471]: Image::Scale (loaded but missing object file, need 0.08)
Jul 3 13:48:58 moe squeezeboxserver[2471]: To fix this problem you have several options:
Jul 3 13:48:58 moe squeezeboxserver[2471]: 1. Install the latest version of the module(s) using CPAN: sudo cpan Some::Module
Jul 3 13:48:58 moe squeezeboxserver[2471]: 2. Update the module's package using apt-get, yum, etc.
Jul 3 13:48:58 moe squeezeboxserver[2471]: 3. Run the .tar.gz version of Logitech Media Server which includes all required CPAN modules.
Jul 3 13:48:58 moe squeezeboxserver[2471]: [ OK ]

As suggested in the error output I then tried the .tar.gz version, but it throws the same errors:

[root@ logitechmediaserver-7.7.2-33893]# ./slimserver.pl --daemon
The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with Logitech Media Server:
Audio::Scan (loaded but missing object file, need 0.93)
Image::Scale (loaded but missing object file, need 0.08)

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 Logitech Media Server which includes all required CPAN modules.


I've also tested the latest 7.7 and 7.8 nightly builds w/ the exact same results.

Anybody know how I can get around this problem? Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

I have a similar problem with debian wheezy ... logitech needs to get their backsides in gear and support Perl 5.14.2 ...

its the huge downside of squeezebox server .. really nice hardware totally useless for anything without the very basic nightmare monolithic perl mess that is Logitech media server

ive compiled myself CPAN for perl 5.14.2 on arm 7 and am still getting the same message ...

the best way to get the developers' attention is to post an enhancement request at:

bugs.slimdevices.com

And then come back here and post a link to the enhancement/bug so others can vote on it. Didn't check to see if something like this is already there, but you can search the site with keywords.

Funny you should mention that as I'd intended to include this in my last post 8)

I've confirmed that this problem is specific to ARM as I'm able to run LMS 7.7.2-1 on a F17 x86_64 box w/out any problems.
