Mon May 11 16:46:41 2015 dwheeler [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:	Make Arguments not Passed to Other Makefiles?
Date:	Mon, 11 May 2015 13:46:32 -0700
To:	bug-version [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	"David E. Wheeler" <dwheeler [...] cpan.org>

I’m building an RPM, where the install line looks like this: $ make pure_install PERL_INSTALL_ROOT=/home/dwheeler/iov-perl/BUILDROOT/perl-version-0.9912-1.1431374616.el6.x86_64 The output is: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dwheeler/iov-perl/BUILD/version-0.9912/vutil' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dwheeler/iov-perl/BUILD/version-0.9912/vutil' Manifying 2 pod documents Files found in blib/arch: installing files in blib/lib into architecture dependent library tree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ERROR: Cannot unlink '/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/version/vxs/vxs.so': Permission denied !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at -e line 1 make: *** [pure_vendor_install] Error 13 I don’t understand why it wants to delete that file (from a previous install). It might want to look for /home/dwheeler/iov-perl/BUILDROOT/perl-version-0.9912-1.1431374616.el6.x86_64/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/version/vxs/vxs.so. Is the PERL_INSTALL_ROOT option not getting passed somewhere it should?

I think this is an EU::MM issue ultimately, but doing a quick Google suggests that a lot of RPM spec files use DESTDIR instead, which works just fine. This is, in fact, how my own spec files are written at $WORK. John

I've just made this change to rpmcpan. I haven't see the OP error in a while, so yeah, screw it, I dunno what happened, but don't need to waste anymore of your time on it. Hopefully using DESTDIR will prevent it from happening again. --David
