I have While it doesn't help your immediate problem, I thought I'd mention that I had the same problem with CPAN a few days ago while installing a different package (in my case, RequestTracker). I had installed it successfully on a Redhat 7.1 system at home a month ago, and the identical installation failed while using CPAN to load its required modules. Clearly something in CPAN is broken; hopefully it's just the libnet module, and not something more systemic. I plan on giving it another try next week, installing the required modules by hand instead of relying on CPAN. Perhaps that approach would work with Slash as well. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER ja...@ja... / YAHOO abreauj Email ja...@bl... / WWW http://www.blu.org |

"t/select.t" seems to be failing as well (after I forced the install Net::CMD). Is that also a function of a broken libnet module as well or another problem? I'm not sure what package select.t belongs to? Also, is there an older libnet that I could fall back on that would work with Slash 2.0.0 while Graham Barr is debugging the most recent version? Lastly (I do apologize for these questions. I'm relatively new to working with Linux and a complete neophyte when it comes to Slash), how might I install all the necessary Perl modules manually? Is there a list of modules required for Slash? If so, are they all simply tarballs with makefiles?

One test fails incorrectly. The test is broken, not libnet. At least, for me. If something other than the mentioned require test fails, then it could be that libnet is broken for you. >Lastly (I do apologize for these questions.

The libnet distribution is broken on the CPAN. I filed a report with Graham Barr, who said he is working on it. If the only tests that libnet (Net::Cmd) is failing are 8-9 of t/require, then either do `make install` from the system shell, or `force install Net::Cmd` from the CPAN shell. I just uploaded a new Bundle::Slash, but it does not (cannot) fix this problem. Only a new libnet can do that. :) -- Chris Nandor pu...@po... http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network pu...@os... http://osdn.com/ |
