I'm trying to use my cpan to rpm little factory thing, and this package fails since I try to define the PREFIX in the command line: []$ PERL5LIB=/tmp/mega_auto_build/... /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/mega_auto_build/centos7.4.1708-x86_64/root/usr The libssh2 library is required by this module. If you don't have it, you can download it from http://www.libssh2.org; you may also need OpenSSL, which can be obtained from http://www.openssl.org , or libgcrypt, which can be obtained from http://www.gnupg.org . Debian: sudo aptitude install libssh2-1-dev OpenSUSE: sudo zypper in libssh2-1 libssh2-devel You can pass your libssh2 lib and include dirs (and extra link args) on the command line. E.g.: perl Makefile.PL lib=$HOME/libssh2/lib inc=$HOME/libssh2/include \ ldargs="-lz" These can also be set through the LIBSSH2_LIB/LIBSSH2_INCLUDE/LIBSSH2_LDARGS environment variables. To build with libgcrypt instead of OpenSSL, pass 'gcrypt' as a parameter to Makefile.PL, e.g.: perl Makefile.PL gcrypt If you want to build on Windows, see the file BUILDING.WIN32 in the distribution. Looking for libraries... Analyzing file assertlib5o6ZKNdQ Library ssh2 found in standard place Detected crypto backend: openssl Library z found in standard place Library ssl found in standard place Library crypto found in standard place Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given. Not both. Removing the PREFIX bit causes it to work, but I need that relocation to work so I can create the RPM file for this system. Any ideas what's going on? I don't define INSTALL_BASE anywhere, and I don't see that string anywhere in the tarball for Net:SSH2. Thanks, Judd

There are some post on StackOverflow and other forums by people facing a similar problem, and it seems that the common cause is having INSTALL_BASE set via some environment variable. Specifically it seems that local::lib does it. So, could you check your environment variables and ensure there is no one setting INSTALL_BASE?

Salvador, Thanks for getting back to be. I've verified that INSTALL_BASE is not set in my environment, so something in the build system must be setting that. I searched with grep the files in the distribution, and I can't see it, so it must be some 3rd party lib in the build process setting this variable. [...@... Net-SSH2-0.69]$ echo $INSTALL_BASE [...@... Net-SSH2-0.69]$ Thanks, Judd Show quoted text

There are several environment variables that may set the INSTALL_BASE. Look in all of them!

I don't understand your response. Environment variables can't set anything... software must do that. Do you want an entire listing of my environment variables? Or do you have some list of specific ones that I should be looking for? Can you share the stack overflow issue you found? Thanks, Judd Show quoted text
