Re: Re: Re: Installing CPAN Perl modules on a virtual server (revisted)

To paraphrase merlyn: Perl and Apache, considered by themselves, are the least of your problems. It sounds like the system you're trying to install modules onto doesn't make the libraries necessary to compile various things available to you.

Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor

Hum....Isn't it possible to install the needed libraries in a directory of my choice at my virtual host, along with whatever is installed for the module itself?	[reply]

Isn't it possible to install the needed libraries in a directory of my choice at my virtual host{...} Yes, on a normal Unix host. But migawd, you're missing `/usr/include` and `/usr/lib`! I can't imagine any Unix installation process that could make sense out of that! -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

I would assume that /usr/lib and /usr/include exist....but I don't have permission for them. Perhaps I will contact the host. Thanks for your input! Any more musings kindly appreciated.	[reply]
