Subject: installing perl Date: Friday 05 November 2004 11:26 am From: "Stephan M. Ellis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I am developing a linux based router os, and it is coming along nicely. The only thing I can think of to make it better would be to have a nice implementation of perl installed in it. I need to install it to a directory that is not standard. For example, my router os' root file system is the directory: /root/dev/nx1.1/dist/base-1.1p I need to install perl as if that directory were /, because it is when I put the system onto compact flash and boot it on my router. I could not get this to work with the stable.tar.gz package, so I installed it like you normally would, and then copied the perl5.8.4 binary to /root/dev/nx1.1/dist/base-1.1p/usr/bin and make a symbolic link to it called perl in the same directory. I then copied /usr/lib/perl5 directory to /root/dev/nx1.1/dist/base-1.1p/usr/lib of my router os' /usr/lib directory. It seems to work that way, I know this because I wrote a few scripts to test out the installation. The only error I get is when using IO::Socket::INET. When I try to run a simple udp server, it tells me Bad protocol 'udp'. The same exact script works on my developement machine, just not in my router os, either on the router, or in a chroot environment. The only thing I can think of is that I need to copy something else from my developement machine, maybe a library or a perl related directory. Thanks for any help in advance. -stephan ------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
