Subject: doesn't find/install Bundle::LWP, some other issues
Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2007 13:03:03 +0200
To: bug-cpan2rpm [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Richard Zidlicky <rz [...] linux-m68k.org>
Hi, running 2.028. I found #cpan2rpm Bundle::LWP -- module: Bundle::LWP -- Module not found on CPAN web site! at /usr/bin/cpan2rpm line 1201. Downloading tarball manually and running cpan2rpm on it works fine. Second problem is that some error messages are not displayed properly making it very hard to figure out what is wrong. For example my libxm2 is too old for building XML-LibXML-1.63, cpan2rpm invocation look like that: #cpan2rpm /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/XML-LibXML-1.63.tar.gz -- cpan2rpm - Ver: 2.028 -- Signatures not set up Upgrade check Fetch: HTTP -- module: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/XML-LibXML-1.63.tar.gz -- Metadata retrieval Tarball extraction: [/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/XML-LibXML-1.63.tar.gz] ####### Exit without any further messages ######### Going into XML-LibXML reveals the problem: # perl Makefile.PL enable native perl UTF8 running xml2-config...failed The installed version of libxml2 not compatible with XML::LibXML. You may continue at your own risk, but: - don't expect XML::LibXML to build or work correctly! - don't report errors! - don't send patches! Check the README file for more information on versions that are tested with XML::LibXML ---- So it was ok that it failed but some message could have been displayed.. Regards Richard
