Hello Monks,
I need your help in installing a Perl module. I am trying to install XML::LibXML on development server from couple of days now. I do not want to compile and install the module manually, as it needs some C components. I would like to install the binary distribution of this module for windows. I tried to install the binary module with PPM from following site http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ and The command is
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.ppd
It throws following error and quit
Installing package 'http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.ppd'... Error installing package 'http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.pp d': Read a PPD for 'http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.ppd', but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-5.8) Then, I tried with packages from other sites as well.
ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/XML-LibXML.ppd
ppm install http://ppm.tcool.org/archives/XML-LibXML.ppd
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/XML-LibXML.ppd
But got the same error. The Perl on which I am trying the installation is a customized version for a product with version "v5.8.2 built for MSWin32-x86-multi". I installed PPM on it with version 2.1.6.
I am not getting any clue here, how to go. Any help is appreciated.
OS=>Windows server 2003 SP2   Perl=>v5.8.2 built for MSWin32-x86-multi   PPM=>2.1.6
Thanks,
Amit
