Hi!

...

Followed the instruction in the FAQ for installing Gnome on CRUX. Exellent guidelines but the install script fails with vte:

[stuff deleted] checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool =======> ERROR: Building '/usr/ports/contrib/vte/vte#0.13.0-1.pkg.tar.gz' failed. -- Packages where install failed vte Press <ENTER> to continue ..

So somehow it is related to Perl not knowing where its XML::Parser is:

The standard perl package probably doesn't contain extra modules like XML::Parser. Thus, you have to install it additionally. I'm not sure if someone has created a package file for it but you can try to find it on the crux homepage in the "port section" or just search in your local ports tree for "xml" related stuff?!

Hope that helps ;D

Maybe this is what you were looking for: http://crux.nu/portdb/?command=viewport&name=perl-xml-parser&repo=syslinx

p5-xml-parser is also in the opt repository.. I had the same problem with another port. That should fix the problem. -Toshi

bash-3.1# /usr/bin/perl -e "require XML::Parser" Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at -e line 1.

The only Parser.pm found is in another subdirectory, not mention in @INC:

bash-3.1# find /usr -name Parser.pm -print /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Pod/Parser.pm

Could someone please guide me as to how to a) fix this Perl XML::Parser problem? b) run the rest of the Gnome script or should I just rerun it?

IIRC, p5-xml-parser is in jaeger's gnome repo. If you already have it installed, you could try to rebuild it (since perl has this braindead feature that modules are installed in a versioned directory even for micro versions, so every time you upgrade perl, you'll have to reinstall all your modules...)

Then vte said it needed python, which yapo confirmed was not installed. Now I have both /usr/lib/python and /usr/lib/python2.4 for some unfathomable reason. Are those both regular directories? In a normal install of python, both should be there, and /usr/lib/python should be a symlink to /usr/lib/python2.4.

But I got stuck with howl.

There is no such script in /etc/rc.d jaeger.morpheus.net/linux/crux/repos/gnome/howl/ is empty... I found a cached backup on Google:

The script points to non-existant directories, so clearly something is missing or howl is just obsolete.

--theo (confused)

Hi good morning Theo, asked it to jaeger and told me that howl was replaced by avahi. I hope this can be usefull for you. Thank you jaeger. Regards. Learning bit BY bit. Victor Martines.
