#1 Tk::JPEG module problem
Hi,
First, let me say that I'm a perl novice and a TK
brand-newbie. As an electrical engineer, I've had
quite a bit of programming experience, and
occasionally need to write some code to support the
hardware I design. In a former life I have programed
video games in assembly language. I give you this
information so you'll have some idea of my experience
level.
My platform is Windows NT 4.0 with the latest
ActiveState perl build installed. I'm not sure which
version I have, but I installed it Friday, January 11.
I downloaded Guido and tried to run it. After several
errors from Guido regarding missing modules, I thought
I had downloaded and installed everything I needed.
But, it still won't work. Apparently there's a version
mismatch between one of my installed TK modules
(Tk::JPEG) and the module that Guido expects. The
following error messages are generated when I try to
invode Guido.
<Begin DOS box clip>
C:\Guido\bin>guido.pl
Tk::JPEG object version 800.022 does not match
$Tk::JPEG::XS_VERSION 800.023 at
C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 225.
Compilation failed in require at
C:/Guido/bin/../lib/Guido/Application.pm line 1

ne 17.
Compilation failed in require at C:\Guido\bin\guido.pl
line 15.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
C:\Guido\bin\guido.pl line 15.
</Begin DOS box clip>
Is the problem that my version of Tk:JPEG is newer
than what Guido expects? Or older?
I'm sure there is something really dumb that I'm
doing, but I'd me most appreciative if you could point
me in the right direction.
P.S. Any estimate on a beta release date??
Thanks,

It's now fixed. Apparently I had loaded a Tk.pm that was
too new to coexist with the current Tk::JPEG. I uninstalled
the newer version and replaced it with the available
version from Activestate and THAT problem was solved.
I still kept getting missing package after missing package.
I was downloading them one at a time until I couldn't find
a package called simply Template.
At this point, I invoked the installer, which worked
flawlessly this time. I thought I had tried it after I
first found Guido and it wouldn't work.
Now, it's time for me to jump in an play.
Thanks,

i had a similar problem in my 0.51 install, in my case Tk
was a little old. after a
ppm install Tk
setup.pl
and then perl guido.pl succeeded, but not without some
other warnings which i think are not related to this
problem.

Hi, i am too electrical engineer, i have the same problem, the
solution is uninstall perl and install again, no install any
module, install guido and when he says that not found
modules, try with ppm opcion (several times response for the
ppm option). I do it and then Guido load ok.
