in reply to perl module problem

Mohit

Inferentially, you seem to be talking about a "standard install" of a beta. Is this so? Or is the beta a second version on a single system? or ????

Please note also that your reference to pasting new modules you're installing with PPM is a bit of a mystery. Why do you do that? PPM handles all the install you need for a standard install of ActiveState's perl.

Others may achieve a reasonable understanding but -- for me -- your question makes me wonder about the above... and/or the possibility that your copy of M::B::V is borked

    [First i want to tell u about the steps what i have taken to install perl and modules.]

    1.Download the activeperl5.8.8.817MSwin32-x86-257965.

    2.Runt it and got installed it on my system.

    3.then i download the kinosearch0.12 and do this :- perl Build.pl then got error

    can't locate module::build.

    4.to remove that error i did following(suggested at install all perl module)

    C:/>ppm s Module-Build
searching in active repository
1.Module-Build [0.2801] Module-Build
2.Module-Build-Convert [0.21] Module-Build-Convert
3.Module-Build-JSAN [0.01] module-Build-JSAN

    [download]
    ppm> i 1
install 'Module-Build' Version 0.2801 in ActivePerl 5.8.8.817.

    [download]

    hence it install it.

    Again i run

    c:/kinosearch-0.12>perl Build.pl

    then it inform me to install

    1.Lingua-StopWords
2.Lingua-Stem-Snowball
3.Clone

    [download]

    I installed it with the help of PPM

    now again

    C:/kinosearch-0.12>perl Build.pl

    it created new Build and wrote all files in src but gave one warning and that is..

    Warning: this distribution contains XS files,but Module::Build is not configured with C_support at C:/per/site/lib/module/build/base.pm line 1125.

    now how can i resolve this problem

    Thanks

      As far as I can tell KinoSearch-0.12 contains no XS files. At least there's none listed at http://search.cpan.org/~creamyg/KinoSearch-0.12/MANIFEST.

      And I don't really understand the part about Module::Build not being configured with C support. (I haven't used Module::Build very much.) Do you have a C compiler ? You will need one if you want to build perl extensions (ie modules whose source contains XS files). With ActiveState build 817 you could use either Visual Studio or (the freely available) MinGW and dmake.

      However, if it's just a matter of installing KinoSearch you could run:

      ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/KinoSearch.ppd

      That would give you version 0.11 of that module. Is that ok ? The same repository can provide you with the KinoSearch pre-requisites (eg Lingua-Stem-Snowball). I expect you will be prompted to install the pre-requisites when you install the KinoSearch ppm. If you browse to http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ you can see the list of ppm's that are available there.

      Cheers,
      Rob
