Re^2: Question: module to grab file information??

Thanks, I need information more than MIME type, so File::Type and File::MimeInfo seem not OK. I installed your module through cpan shell, but it doesnot pass the compilation.

cpan> install ExtUtils::PkgConfig
...
Can't locate ExtUtils/PkgConfig.pm in @INC ....
...
cpan> install ExtUtils::PkgConfig
...snip ok info...
cpan> install File::Extractor    
Running install for module File::Extractor
Running make for F/FL/FLORA/File-Extractor-0.03.tar.gz
  Is already unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/File-Extractor
+-0.03
  Makefile.PL returned status 65280
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

I installed libextractor(http://gnunet.org/libextractor/download/Extractor-0.5.tar.gz) by following the instruction(i.e. running "python setup.py install", everything looks ok), but I still get the same error information. ? ? any idea? many thanks...

CPANs error message is caused the cpan shell caching some state. Restarting the shell and invoking trying to install the module again should fix that. Also it looks like you installed the python bindings for libextractor but not libextractor itself. This is most likely what you want.	[reply]
