Re: [wxperl-users] Install Help Please

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

Hi

It should all work OK.
Assuming you have downloaded the zip file from wxperl.sourceforge.net?

When unzipped into, say c:\wxinstall, you should have the files:

c:\wxinstall\Wx-0.26.ppd
and
c:\wxinstall\wxPerl-0.26-wx-2.62-win32-5.8.6.tar.gz

If you open up a command prompt and cd c:\wxinstall
then if you type

ppm install Wx-0.26.ppd

It will work.

Your error looks like some combination of not changing directory before
you run ppm or not unzipping all the files or attempting to run against
a path that is really a desktop zip folder? (if that's possible)

Regards

Mark
