The fink archive mirror isn't in a good mood. I'll have to keep on
trying. I haven't used CPAN... <googling> ... hmm. I'll try that.
Thanks! :)
I got CPAN set up: very nice. I think po4a installed OK in the end,
but po4a did complain that it needed three other modules:
Checking prerequisites...
- ERROR: Text::WrapI18N is not installed
- ERROR: SGMLS is not installed
- ERROR: Locale::gettext is not installed
I was able to install the first and the last, but when I tried to
install SGMLS, CPAN said:
Package comes with a Makefile and without a Makefile.PL.
We'll try to build it with that Makefile then.
CPAN.pm: Going to build D/DM/DMEGG/SGMLSpm-1.03ii.tar.gz
if [ ! -d /usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS ]; then\
mkdir /usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS; \
chmod a+x /usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS; \
fi
mkdir: /usr/local/lib/perl5: No such file or directory
chmod: /usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS: No such file or directory
make: *** [/usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS] Error 1
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Is this some more missing software? I do have perl.
Pearl:/po4a-0.27.2 clytie$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
Pearl:/po4a-0.27.2 clytie$ perl --version
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
And is it likely to disadvantage po4a, not having that module for now?
Thankyou very much for your help with this, and for the introduction
to CPAN (which I am enjoying considerably). :)
