Re^3: Problems with PDF::API2 and Compress:Zlib on redhat e4

Download the tarball from search.cpan.org and do the usual

tar zxf Tarball-VERSION.tar.gz
cd Tarball-VERSION
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
[download]

followed by

make install
[download]

if all the tests succeed (you can usually ignored skipped tests). Repeat the process for each module until something fails. Also, check the README files included with the modules - they usually contain installation tips.

Well, I did something pretty stupid. In my foolish attempt to 'uninstall' a cpan module I rm'd auto/Compress... I'm getting these root@linuxbox Compress-Zlib-2.005# perl Makefile.PL Up/Downgrade not needed. Warning: prerequisite IO::Compress::Base 2.005 not found. Warning: prerequisite IO::Compress::Base::Common 2.005 not found. Warning: prerequisite IO::Compress::Gzip 2.005 not found. Warning: prerequisite IO::Compress::Gzip::Constants 2.005 not found. Warning: prerequisite IO::Uncompress::Base 2.005 not found. Warning: prerequisite IO::Uncompress::Gunzip 2.005 not found. Writing Makefile for Compress::Zlib Can't locate auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix in @INC Is there a faster way to fix this, or did I just screw myself? Thank you for all the help so far.	[reply]

You'll need to re-install IO::Compress::Base and IO::Compress::Zlib. you can get both from search.cpan.org. Just follow the procedure I posted above. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Well, I'm certainly getting there. The only error I have left is: Can't locate auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix in @INC However I can not find a IO::Compress::Zlib on cpan, only an ::FAQ Edit, wait, got it... Edit 2: Yeah, I installed it, and I still get `Can't locate auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix in @INC` How do I restore that?	[reply] [d/l]
