Re: [Slashcode-general] Minimum version of every component for a successful Slash install?

[Shane Z. <sh...@lo...>]

Distro: CentOS
Slash-version: HEAD (from src, never package)

Don't use the 2.2.6, it is just *too* ancient to bother with. And the upgrade from 2.26 -> SCM-Head was just brutal. Work from the last SCM-Head.

If I recall I'd start off buy getting perl, mod_perl and apache compiled togther and functionally running.
While I was doing that, I'd (in another term window) install mySQL (and in another window) start installing CPAN modules (follow the cpan-instructions from slash-HEAD by the book).

Once all that was done, I could make install and then 'install-slashsite' at will.
