in thread Why won't local::lib tell me what to put in .bashrc?

Thanks. Can you tell me which version of local::lib you have? The first thing we should do is check that you are not hitting a current or recently resolved bug, that is to say a bug which has been fixed in version released since the one you are using.

If this turns up nothing then we have to be able to replicate the problem. At this stage it would be helpful if you can replicate this on your system. The next step would be to look at the code to see if we can pinpoint the cause of the problem and if possible provide a patch to resolve the issue.

Patch or not, once we're sure the problem can be replicated a bug should be raised. Let me know if you need any help with this, though my free time is fairly limited at the time being.

    Looks like it's version 2.000004. I'll make a fresh Ubuntu VM tonight or tomorrow and see if I can replicate it there.

      Great, keep me posted, and let me know if I can help with anything.

        I just finished replicating the issue on a brand-new Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 installation running in VMware Workstation 10.0.1, and captured the output from both stdout and stderr during the process. After it finished, I logged out, logged back in, and tried to install the DateTime module just as an example. It built fine but failed (as expected by now) at the install step because it tried to write to the system-level directories.

        Hope this helps.
