DateTime module

JoeS

I'm having trouble installing the DateTime module on our teamsite server (Solaris X). Everytime we try to build the directory, we get the message the build won't make.

You need to provide more detail than that. How are you downloading it ? cpan ? Just running make with gcc ?

Can you copy/paste the error you receive ?

The install was approached from two different angles in an effort to get it in.

The first was to use CPAN to install. For this to work, I altered my path variable to /iw-home/iw-perl/bin:/usr/bin so that it picked up the IW version of Perl instead of the host supplied one.

I then verified that was the case by doing a perl -V which produced:

@INC:

/iw-home/iw-perl/lib

/iw-home/iw-perl/site/lib

/iw-home/iw-perl/vendor/lib

I then started the install by doing

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan> install DateTime

CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok

Please check the host you chose as your CPAN mirror for staleness.

I'll continue but problems seem likely to happen.

There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.9402) available!

[Current version is v1.7601]

You might want to try

install Bundle::CPAN

reload cpan

without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade

while we are running...

2 tape blocks x DateTime-0.53/xt/pod-coverage.t, 913 bytes, 2 tape blocks Package seems to come without Makefile.PL.

(The test -f "/export/home/user/.cpan/build/DateTime-0.53/Makefile.PL" re turned false.)

Writing one on our own (setting NAME to DateTime)

CPAN.pm: Going to build D/DR/DROLSKY/DateTime-0.53.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...

Looks good

Writing Makefile for DateTime

-- NOT OK

Running make test

Can't test without successful make

Running make install

make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

cpan>

When this failed, I tried doing the build from the tar ball using

perl Build.PL

./Build

./Build test

./Build install

Results were the same in that it failed to make.

Are you using the out of the box make on Solaris, or gcc make? If you type "which make", does it find make in the path?

My first guess in this situation would be that make isn't being found. My second guess would be that there's something odd about the Makefile that the particular version of make it is finding doesn't like.

nipper

It looks like it cannot find make (and possibly gcc or cc)

JoeS

We're using the vendor supplied gcc.

bash-3.00# gcc -v

Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.6/specs

Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.6

nipper

what about make ?

JoeS

Attached is log traffic after ensuring a "which make" returns a positive result.

DateTime module installer fails to successfully compile correctly whether done via CPAN or tar ball build process.

Of particular interest is the results of a module test as done below:

comcmd1 # perl -MDateTime -e l

Can't locate DateTime/Locale.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /iw-home/iw-perl/lib /iw-home/iw-perl/site/lib /iw-home/iw-perl/vendor/lib .) at /iw-home/iw-perl/site/lib/DateTime.pm line 41.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /iw-home/iw-perl/site/lib/DateTime.pm line 41.

Compilation failed in require.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

You may want to see if you can build this module somewhere else.
I tried doing it on my Mac and ran into all sorts of build issues with a lot of the "prerequisites" needed for it - so there may be some code and/or compatibility issues with this module.

Alternatively, depending on what functionality you are looking for, there may be other modules that are either available OOTB or [more] easily downloaded and installed via cpan - that might provide what you need.

e.g.: Date::Manip, Date::Format, Date: Smiley Tongue

****, etc.

JoeS

OK - I'll try to use another module. Thanks for everyone's response.
