Can you send me a log of the complete build please? I need a log of output from the following perl Makefile.PL make make test Also, did you have an older version of Compress::Zlib installed? This error makes me think you have version 1 of Compress::Zlib installed because version 2 doesn't use XS # Failed test (t/01version.t at line 23) # Tried to use 'Compress::Zlib'. # Error: is only avaliable with the XS version at /Users/dha/Compress-Zlib-2.001/blib/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm line 9 # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/01version.t line 23. # Compilation failed in require at (eval 5) line 2. # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 2.

Hm. I went to zlib.net and it seems to say 1.2.3 is the latest. Am I looking in the wrong place? dha -- David H.

Sorry, you've misunderstood what I've asked you. I'm not asking what version of the zlib library you have installed. I'm asking whether you already have an older version of my Perl module, Compress::Zlib, installed. Run this perl -MCompress::Zlib -e 'print "$Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n"' to find out. Paul

~ 23:51:12% perl -MCompress::Zlib -e 'print "$Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n"' is only avaliable with the XS version at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm line 9 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm line 9. Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. buh. :-/ It says 2.001 when I look in the source. It occurs to me that it may well be seeing the Compress::Zlib that came from apple. think I can just use the apple perl and reinstall? dha -- David H.

Can you have a look in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm and see what version of perl is in that file please? Show quoted text

> It occurs to me that it may well be seeing the Compress::Zlib that > came from apple. think I can just use the apple perl and reinstall?

I think I see the problem This error # Error: is only avaliable with the XS version at /Users/dha/Compress-Zlib-2.001/blib/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm line 9 is referring to this line in my code use Scalar::Util qw(dualvar); That is indicating a problem with the installation of Scalar::Util. Can you run this please? perl -e 'use Scalar::Util qw(dualvar);' If you get the same error about the XS version then you need to re- install the Scalar-List-Utils distribution before you can continue with building my module. You must have a C compiler on your system to install Scalar::Util and not get the XS version error. The strange thing is though - Scalar::Util is part of the standard 5.8.8 distribution. I wonder if apple don't supply the XS version of the module? Paul

Apparently that was it. Show quoted text

Well, 5.8.8 is the one I installed myself. Maybe it saw the one with 5.8.6 and didn't bother installing a new one. weird. but now, apparently at least, fixed. Many thanks. dha -- David H.
