hi to All, this isn't really a perl programming question but instead a perl compile/install question.
i've been trying to install perl modules: Text-Iconv-1.2 or Text-Iconv-1.4 i'm doing the install from: /usr/src/packages/SOURCES this is on SuSe linux 9.0. i need this module installed for Open Webmail. i have the source, compile it per the README, everything looks fine but then when i check to see if the module is installed using rpm -q, it isn't. Open Webmail also confirms the module isn't installed when i try to install it. the following is the transcript of the install. i'm fairly new to perl so i'm sure i'm missing something. any ideas as to why these modules appear to install correctly, but actually aren't installed would be greatly appreciated. log of install is as follows: mail1:/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/Text-Iconv-1.4 # perl Makefile.PL Checking for iconv ... ok (iconv apparently in libc) NOTE: If you have multiple iconv implementations installed, you might want to make sure that I've found the one you want to use. If necessary, you can explicitly specify paths like this: /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include' Writing Makefile for Text::Iconv mail1:/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/Text-Iconv-1.4 # make cc -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -fno-strict-aliasing -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -Wall -Wall -pipe -DVERSION=\"1.4\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.4\" -fPIC "-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i586-linux-thread-multi/CORE" Iconv.c Iconv.c: In function `XS_Text__IconvPtr_raise_error': Iconv.c:346: warning: unused variable `RETVAL' Running Mkbootstrap for Text::Iconv () chmod 644 Iconv.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/Text/Iconv/Iconv.so LD_RUN_PATH="" cc -shared Iconv.o -o blib/arch/auto/Text/Iconv/Iconv.so chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/Text/Iconv/Iconv.so cp Iconv.bs blib/arch/auto/Text/Iconv/Iconv.bs chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/Text/Iconv/Iconv.bs Manifying blib/man3/Text::Iconv.3pm mail1:/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/Text-Iconv-1.4 # make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/00_load........ok t/01_charsets....ok All tests successful.
