Re^7: Installing modules

in reply to Re^6: Installing modules
in thread Installing modules

The first command doesn't find the file. It seems that ActivePerl is somewhere else.

I can try "make install" on the GD thing, but since it says I probably shouldn't, I'm guessing that I probably shouldn't.

The warnings when I run "make" mention that something is wrong with gdlib:
ld: warning in /usr/lib/libpng.dylib, file is not of required architecture

I did install it - it wasn't easy to find, but I found something on
http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/project/gmod/Generic%20Genome%20Browser/libgd-MacOSX/20100406/
so I installed that. Maybe that wasn't good enough. Can I get gdlib from somewhere else?

Also, the new version is only working for one user. I would like all users to be able to use it.

Okay, I downloaded that, and as it said in the readme file, I ran "./configure" and then "make install". The configure thing remarked that there was no support for JPEG library or Freetype 2.x library, but seemed otherwise happy. "make install" popped out a long list of errors, most of which seem to be related to gd_png.c, and concluded `make[1]: * [gd_png.lo] Error 1 make: * [install-recursive] Error 1` [download] I don't know if that means it's installed or not. Going back to the GD module, now "make" runs without complaining, but "make test" still fails: `t/GD.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 1 Failed: 1) Failed test: 1 Non-zero exit status: 2 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 12 tests but ran 1. t/Polyline.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 0 Failed: 0) Non-zero exit status: 2 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 1 tests but ran 0.

Hang in there! You're almost home. You'll need three more pkgs in this exact order: zlib libpng libjpeg And another module from cpan to use zlib: Bundle::Compress::Zlib	[reply]
