Re: cpan module install woes - UTF-8 problem?


Quoth Troy Piggins <usenet-0710@xxxxxxxxx>:
Not sure if this is the correct group. Please let me know if there's a
more applicable one.

I'm trying to install amavisd-new, spamassassin, and clamav on my ubuntu
7.10 system. One of amavisd-new's prerequisites is BerkeleyDB and there's
also an optional Mail::ClamAV that I want to install. All other modules
installed fine.

Not being that knowledgeable with perl, I usually install modules at the
commandline by:

$ sudo cpan BerkeleyDB

type commands. Trouble is for those 2 modules mentioned above, and also
some others required for spamassassin, I keep getting many errors[1].

I have read that there may be some problems with perl modules if the
environment is UTF-8.

This is not usually an issue if you are using 5.8.1 or above, and in any
case does not appear to be the problem here.

[1] Some of the output for BDB below. I can provide full if necessary.

Here is your problem: you don't have db.h, or, at least, not where perl
is looking for it. Have you installed the appropriate -dev db package?

Since you seem to be using Debian, it may be easier to install modules
through the package manager. This will handle external dependancies like
this for you.
