[wxperl-users] Install Help Please

[Sean A. <phi...@gm...>]

I am trying to install wxPerl on a Windows XP box.  I have two perl choices:
1. cygwin
2. ActivePerl

I downloaded and installed wxWidgets on my box.  I downloaded the
Activeperl download for wxPerl.  The readme file in the archive saya
to do the following:

* Unzip this ZIP file somewhere (let's say in c:\temp)

* Become Administrator, if necessary

* From the command prompt
  cd c:\temp
  ppm install Wx-0.26.ppd

Have fun!
Mattia


Did all of that, but when I run "ppm install Wx-0.26.ppd", I get the
following error:

====================
Install 'Wx-0.26' version 0.26 in ActivePerl 5.8.8.817.
====================
Error: error downloading'file://localhost/C%7C/Documents%20and%20Settings/sarmst
rong/Desktop/Wx-
0.26-wxmsw2.6.2-win32-u-5.8.6/wxPerl-0.26-wx-2.6.2-win32-u-
5.8.6.tar.gz': 404 File `C:\Documents and Settings\sarmstrong\Desktop\Wx-0.26-wx
msw2.6.2-win32-u-5.8.6\wxPerl-
0.26-wx-2.6.2-win32-u-5.8.6.tar.gz' does not exist

Is there something else I need to download?  I can't find this package
anywhere on the net?  It would seem to me that the install package
would have everything in it or the directions should include
directions to download the extra tar.gz file?  Am I missing something?
 WxPerl was much easier to instal and get running on my MacOSX box.
Can someone please help me get this installed on my Windows box as
well?


Thanks:)
SA

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

I downloaded "http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxperl/Wx-0.26-wxmsw2.6.2-win32-5.8.6.zip"
from wxperl.sourceforge.net.  There is no
wxPerl-0.26-wx-2.62-win32-5.8.6.tar.gz.  I get a readme file,
Wx-026.ppd and a blib directory.

Thanks:)

Nevermind.  Aparently stuffit expands it all the way out so it expands
out the tar.gz file as well.

My bad.

Thanks:)
