[Catalyst] can't seem to install local::lib in dreamhost

Nothing in the documentation for local::lib OR the calendar entry you linked to
says to use a PREFIX= parameter here.

hdp.

Yes, I actually tried doing it without PREFIX but it still didn;t work.
Then I thought that since I installed perl modules into my home
directory, maybe that's using the PREFIX would do the trick.

If all you tell us about is that you did it wrong, you're just going to be told
to do it right. You can avoid this by actually telling us everything you did
in your first email:

"I tried the directions, and that didn't work with this error [log here], so
I tried again with PREFIX=whatever, and that didn't work either, with (the
same error / this error [log here] )"

It's not clear yet whether you've given us the error you received when you
first tried it (without PREFIX).

Even better would be a full log of your shell session when you try to install
local::lib, in case there are details that you don't know are relevant.

hdp.

the same error came up denying me access to run "make install".

Here's how my installation looked like.
Thanks for helping:)

- ExtUtils::MakeMaker ...missing. (would need 6.31)
- ExtUtils::CBuilder ...loaded. (0.18)
- ExtUtils::ParseXS ...loaded. (2.15)
- ex ...missing. (would need 0.28)
- CPAN ...missing. (would need 1.80)

Huh? Your shell prompt doesn't make it clear what module this Build
is for.
Where is the output from Makefile.PL - is there really none?

From this point on in the log shows you doing something completely
different, then coming back to run make install.

Can you rm -rf your ~/perl5, and give us a full untrimmed log of
bootstrapping local::lib _only_, as documented with the _FULL
OUTPUT_, and without random other stuff.

Cheers

Right here a bunch of information is missing; there's no output from
--bootstrap, and then suddenly it picks up in the middle of what looks like a
Module::Build install failure:
This might be the real problem here, but I can't tell, and it's just as likely
that some failure started a while ago and is cascading to this point.

hdp.

If you just need Catalyst on Dreamhost I managed to install it
following these instructions
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Catalyst
have a nice day,
arjuna

this looks good. I will give it a go soon.

Thank you!

I recently installed local::lib on Dreamhost and had a lot of problem,
many - but not all - of which were caused by the fact that they kept
killing my CPAN install processes. I saved at least a partial log, and
this is probably what caused his problem:

-----------------------------
[lakers]$ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
Attempting to create directory /home/gshank/perl5
Attempting to create file /home/gshank/perl5/.modulebuildrc
ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.31 required--this is only version 6.30_01.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
CPAN version 1.8 required--this is only version 1.7602.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Prototype mismatch: sub ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt ($;$) vs none at -e
line 9.

/home/gshank/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm initialized.
--------------------------------

After which it tried to use CPAN to install ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Which
didn't work, of course.

I downloaded and installed it myself by hand in the perl5/lib/perl5
directory I think. As I recall, I also had to do that with
Module::Build. Then eventually it got half installed and I and updated
my .bashrc myself and then... evenutally I got it all working. I had
weird problems with CPAN too. I had to end up installing a lot of the
modules myself.
