dotykg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Colleague:

My ultimate goal is to install the DateTime module in one of my non-home directories on a Linux cluster machine (OS is Redhat Enterprise 5). I decided to go down the route of installing my own personal version of Perl to accomplish this. I first installed version 33 of “perlbrew” and then used it to install Perl version 5.8.9. I then used “perlbrew” to install cpanm. At this point the following executables are underneath the directory “/rstor/dotykg/PERLBREW/bin”: 

patchperl
perlbrew
cpanm

[download]

In addition I made changes to “.cshrc” to add “cpanm” to the path and added a “source” command for the “perlbrew” “cshrc” file. The results from “perlbrew env” seem to indicate that those changes were correct.

I then did the following to install the DateTime package: 

perlbrew use perl-5.8.9
/rstor/dotykg/PERLBREW/bin/cpanm DateTime

[download]

The install failed as shown by the build.log given below. I would appreciate some guidance on how to proceed. Here are the issues as I see them as a rookie:

  1. Does cpanm not automatically install Cbuilder?
  2. Possible compiler flag/switch issues?
  3. Complaints of “no compiler” – where do I set the “c compiler?”
  4. “Can't locate Params/Validate.pm in @INC” message
  5. Build resorting to “/nas/rhome/dotykg/.cpanm” when I have a “cpanm” version underneath “/rstor/dotykg/PERLBREW/bin”

Many thanks in advance,

Kevin Doty

Re: Problems installing DateTime module ...

    Does cpanm not automatically install Cbuilder?

    The log says CBuilder is installed

     

    Possible compiler flag/switch issues?

    You never show any output from any compiler

    You show a whole bunch of test failures, showing missing prerequisites

     

    Complaints of “no compiler” – where do I set the “c compiler?”

    Since you compiled your own perl, you can just ignore this message, its probably a bug in whatever emitted it

    Here is one way to check

    $ perl -V:cc
cc='gcc';

$ which gcc
C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.EXE

    [download]

    But you shouldn't need to do this, esp if you compile your own perl

     

    “Can't locate Params/Validate.pm in @INC” message

    Maybe you want to install Params::Validate?

     

    Build resorting to “/nas/rhome/dotykg/.cpanm” when I have a “cpanm” version underneath “/rstor/dotykg/PERLBREW/bin”

    Configuration directory, configuration files, cache ... does not live under .../bin, and the executable is named cpanm not .cpanm , .cpanm is the config/cache directory

      Dear Anonymous Monk:

      Thank you for your advice. On the compiler issue, here is what I got doing your tests: 

      matrix01 51# perl -V:cc
cc='cc';
matrix01 52# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

      [download]

      I tried installing Params::Validate but I wind up with the same snag:

      Do you possibly have any other ideas? Many thanks, Kevin Doty

        Dear Anonymous Monk:

        After my last e-mail I was looking in ithis directory: /nas/rstor1/dotykg/PERLBREW/build/perl-5.8.9 in the “config.sh” file and it shows the following assignments: 

        cc='cc'
cccdlflags='-fPIC'
ccdlflags='-Wl,-E'
ccflags='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_
+SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64'
ccflags_uselargefiles='-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64'
ccname='gcc'

        [download]

        Should the variable “cc” be defined “gcc”? If so can I define it properly and do a reconfigure/reinstall? Many thanks, Kevin Doty
