Re: Indexing failed for installing Tk

Hello Joseph,

and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of perl!

more details needed: which strawberry distro are you using? Portable or installed? 32 or 64 bit? Latest or older perl version?

Also how do you performed the installation? with cpan client or cpanm or other?

The error you reported mentions CPAN::SQLite which has some problems as for tester matrix.

I have just downloaded a fresh copy of strawberry portable 5.32 64bit and I have no problem installing Tk (I have used notest just to spare time)

cpan> notest install Tk

...

Appending installation info to C:\EX_D\ulisseDUE\perl5.32\perl\lib/per
+llocal.pod
  SREZIC/Tk-804.036.tar.gz
  C:\EX_D\ulisseDUE\perl5.32\c\bin\gmake.exe install UNINST=1 -- OK
[download]

cpan seems to fail trying to use CPAN::SQLite. For the moment disable it then try to install Tk: `o conf use_sqlite 0 o conf commit install Tk` [download] Update: if you're using Strawberry perl, it ships with cpanm by default, which is faster than cpan: `cpanm Tk`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
