I got Net::SSH::Perl installed, and I think that's the only thing Net::SFTP directly depends on, and Net::SSH::Perl depends on everything else in the list. It took a good part of a day to install it, and it was just alot of downloading dependent modules and trying to install them, then downloading the sub-dependencies, etc. I suppose if I sort through at 'perldoc perllocal' I could tell the order they were installed in, but you might as well just start installing. Some, like Math::Pari, did not easily install, and could not install with the CPAN module (might be different now, I don't know).	[reply]

I found your node when researching Net::SFTP. I hope this post may help other people in the future if they do the same. I just installed Net::SFTP on a "This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux-thread-multi" machine, and I wrote down the order in which the modules were reported missing by CPANPLUS. It was surprisingly straight-forward considering the mess it was to get it running on Windows (a PPM with Net::SSH::w32Perl saved the day IIRC). Test::More Math::GMP String::CRC32 Net::SSH::Perl Class::Loader Convert::ASCII::Armour Crypt::CBC Crypt::Primes Crypt::Blowfish Tie::EncryptedHash Sort::Versions Data::Buffer Digest::BubbleBabble Crypt::RSA Crypt::DES Crypt::DSA Math::Pari (y get GP/Pari ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/ +unix/) Crypt::Random Crypt::DH Crypt::DES_EDE3 Convert::ASN1 Convert::PEM Net::SSH::Perl (both SSH2 and SSH1, 3DES) (Only SSH will fail a test. I wrote a note about this on the bug +tracking site) Net::SFTP [download] I'll install this on another Linux machine, and also a Solaris machine, and try to refine the list if I encounter any other problems. /J	[reply] [d/l]

Update Ok, one joyous fact I didn't even realize until this morning... the system I need to install on is slowlaris 2.6. Yippie. So far, I've installed the following, in this order: GCC 2.95.3 Make 3.76.1 Perl 5.6.1 Math::Pari-2.010201 -installed clean Class-Loader-2.02 -clean install Convert-ASN1-0.14 -clean install Digest-MD5-2.16 -clean install, though it complained a little about not having gdbm MIME-Base64-2.12 -clean install Compress-Zlib - needs librt.so.1... stuck Shared library librt.so.1 is no where to be found, until you get to solaris 2.7... Is this the point where I tell the development leads to take a hike? soup nazi says No Net::SFTP for you. UPDATE Installed libgcc... Compress ZLIB now complains about code issues, listed below: gcc -c -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE +-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O -DVERSION=\"1.02\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.02\" +-fPIC -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/CORE Zlib.c Zlib.xs: In function `XS_Compress__Zlib__gzFile_gzread': Zlib.xs:554: `curcop' undeclared (first use in this function) Zlib.xs:554: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once Zlib.xs:554: for each function it appears in.) Zlib.xs:554: `compiling' undeclared (first use in this function) Zlib.xs: In function `XS_Compress__Zlib__gzFile_gzreadline': Zlib.xs:599: `curcop' undeclared (first use in this function) Zlib.xs:599: `compiling' undeclared (first use in this function) Zlib.xs: In function `XS_Compress__Zlib__deflateStream_deflate': Zlib.xs:830: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function) Zlib.xs: In function `XS_Compress__Zlib__deflateStream_flush': Zlib.xs:888: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function) Zlib.xs: In function `XS_Compress__Zlib__inflateStream_inflate': Zlib.xs:973: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [Zlib.o] Error 1 [download] Any thoughts? In the mean time, I have successfully installed the following additional pre-req's, in this order: Crypt-DES-2.03 Crypt-Blowfish-2.09 Crypt-DES_EDE3-0.01 Convert-PEM-0.06 String-CRC32-1.2 Data-Buffer-0.04 Sort-Versions-1.2 CBC-1.24 Crypt-Random-1.11 Crypt-Primes-0.49 Digest-SHA1-2.00 Digest-HMAC-1.01 Math-GMP-1.07 Crypt-DH-0.02 Crypt-DSA-0.12 Digest-BubbleBabble-0.01 Tie-EncryptedHash-1.1(complained, but installed)	[reply] [d/l]

Sounds like this module hasn't been ported to a recent version of Perl. You want to use: `perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1` to work around this problem. Update: runrig was kind enough to note that he didn't have problems installing Compress::Zlib under Perl 5.6.1 so I did a quick look and find version 1.14 on CPAN but your output makes it appear that you are installing version 1.02. If that is correct, then you need to get a newer version of the module (runrig installed version 1.13). Update2: runrig notes that the change log (in README) says for 1.03 "Updated to use new PL_* symbols", so it looks even more like you just have an old version.

I neglected to include that I originally tried the top of the tree. Then, when that failed (required librt.so.1, which is not available for Sol2.6) I backed up to the most recent one which reported successful testing for solaris 2.6 on CPAN. All told, I spent about 6 hours tracing through dependencies, installing libraries, compilers, new makes, testing versions, changing the order of installation... all to have the developer tell me that he switched to ksh. I love my life, sometimes. Thank Larry that I get paid OT.	[reply]
