Re^4: Cannot find SDL library with PPM

Ok - thanks for the perl -V output.
You have ActivePerl 5.24.1, for which a ppm package exists at the sisyphusion repo.

Try these commands:

ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/PPM-Sisyphusion.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Class-Inspector.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Capture-Tiny.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/File-ShareDir.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Alien-SDL.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/SDL.ppd
[download]

Those commands should all be successful. (Let me know if that's not the case.)

Then run perl -MSDL -le "print $SDL::VERSION;"
If I haven't missed a dependency, that should output "2.546", and you should be set to go.

If you can find out how to add http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/ to your ppm's repo list, you could just do:

ppm install SDL
[download]

which will install the dependencies as well. (If it fails to pick up the PPM-Sisyphusion dependency, then you'll also have to run ppm install PPM-Sisyphusion

Cheers,
Rob

Uninstall PPM-Sisyphusion, or use --force to allow files to be overwritten Either way should work. PPM won't overwrite a file of the same name - even if it's identical (as will always be the case with my ppm installations). It looks like Class-Inspector is going to install its own files plus the ones that PPM-Sisyphusion did, so I'd probably run: `ppm uninstall http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/PPM-Sisyphusion.ppd and then the other commands: ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Class-Inspector.ppd ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Capture-Tiny.ppd ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/File-ShareDir.ppd ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Alien-SDL.ppd ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/SDL.ppd` [download] I'll be off-line now for a few hours - but I'll pick up again in the morning when I wake up. Hopefully it'll be plain sailing from here, anyway. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
