in thread unable to install Audio::Scan module from cpan

Hi syphilis, many thanks to you as the solution you gave above worked for me: ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/PPM-Sisyphusion.ppd --force ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Audio-Scan.ppd --force When i tried to use the same to set it up on another machine and use the audio scan module, it throws the following error: The program can not run because libgcc_x86_470.dll is missing. And i don't know where did i get those libraries from in the first place. Tried typing libgcc_x86_470 in cmd to check if it exists on the machine,negative. Tried google, most of the answers are about libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll missing or msvcr110.dll missing. Any help is highly appreciated. Also, to install and use audio::scan module, are there any prerequisites from machine? First time around as well I had faced lot of problems. Can you suggest me something which can resolve general dependency issues (may be some extra installations) or some steps to successfully install audio::scan as the straight installation from ppm install or cpan is not working. Thanks in advance!

    Hi vamank,

    My bad - I've changed the set up a little.
    The missing file(s) used to get installed as part of the Audio::Scan install, but now they're installed separately. Just run: 
    ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/PPM-Sisyphusion.ppd

    [download]
    and that should be all that's needed.
    The Audio::Scan ppd file does specify PPM-Siyphusion as a prerequisite, but I guess that the use of --force means that the absence of that prerequisite can be ignored.

    With the new (undocumented) set up, the idea is that you add the sisyphusion repo to your list of repositories: 
    ppm repo add http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm

    [download]
    and then install the desired module with: 
    ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Audio-Scan.ppd

    [download]

    And that should install the module, along with any missing prerequisites.
    However, there are still some packages there (namely, the ones that don't provide for perl version 5.26) that might still require --force.
    You can check the full list of available modules, along with the versions of perl that they each cater for, at http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppmindex.html.

    Sorry for the mess.

    Cheers,
    Rob
