Re: Net::Pcap stats.t fail

I don't know anything about Net::Pcap but IIRC make test actually runs the test scripts more or less like this:

perl -Mblib t/07-stats.t
[download]

Make sure you run make (without arguments) first. Does that still give the same error?

update: if you've changed anything in the system (like installed a new library version), you need to re-run the whole install sequence:

perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
(sudo) make install
[download]

I have done make and make install even tho the "make test" does not complete successful. This is pretty straight forward. I used "yum" to update libpcap and downloaded the most recent Net::Pcap "0.5". I then run "make" and "make install", this gets the pcap.pm file available for the tests to use during the "make test". Could someone more knowledgeable than I take a look at 07-stats.t and see what might be causing the errors?	[reply]

You probably also have to run `perl Makefile.PL` after updating your libraries. I don't know anything about pcap, so I can't really help you with the error. I don't even know what it's supposed to do when it does install. :-) "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l]

I started this install with new libraries and did not have to update anything. This must be an isolated issue as no one seems to be familiar with it.	[reply]
