There are instructions to execute the following ppm instruction: ppm install http://www.nano.physik.uni-muenchen.de/svn/lab/trunk/VISA/Lab-VISA.ppd The error is: Error: error downloading ' http://www.nano.physik.uni-muenchen.de/~schroeer/Lab-VISA-1.11-win.tar.gz': 404 Not Found This worked for me a couple of months ago, but it looks like the link to the ppd file no longer exists. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hmm yes, I removed that file long ago, because everyone reported that it wasn't working for them, due to some unresolved dependencies (C runtime iirc). Was it really working for you? The fact is that I have no idea about compiling things on Windows. When I last tried to build the thing again I didn't manage to do it at all anymore. I have developed and used this program on Linux. It should in principle all work on Windows but I have never thoroughly tried it out and there will probably be some problems with pathnames or the like. It's also true that I have finished my thesis and started another job and will most likely not develop this any further. There still is a much newer version in the repository but I have been lazy to upload it so far. If you still want to give it a try, maybe even try the compilation on Windows, send me a direct email and I can provide you with access to the repo. It would be greatly appreciated! This software has done a very good job for me!

Yes it was really working for me and well. I am looking at my notes and I did have to recompile something. There are the notes I left myself... 1) ppm install http://www.nano.physik.uni-muenchen.de/svn/lab/trunk/VISA/Lab-VISA.ppd 2) Then copy the VISA folder (which was compiled by me) to replace the contents of C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Lab\VISA. This VISA folder has been built to include the libcmt.lib library instead of the default msvcrt.lib which causes probelms. So I don't know much about how packages really "install" but I do remember someone helping me figure out to recompile and link in a different library. Then it worked like a charm. So I have the compiled VISA directly but I don't know what to do without having the step 1 of the process which was the link above. I attached the zip folder of the notes, source and recompiled items that work for me. I am not sure what I am asking for anymore, but any help to mimic step 1 for me would be great.

David, I have digged out the necessary files and attached them here. I have modified the ppd (it's xml) file to point to the Lab-VISA-1.11-win.tar.gz in the same directory. Save these two files to one directory, switch to that directory and type ppm install Lab-VISA.ppd and the copy over the VISA folder from your zip as described in the install.txt in there. It's interesting that you have these freshly compiled files. I guess one could also build a working ppm out of them. Maybe you could use this person's services another time after I have uploaded a newer version to CPAN?

It worked like a charm. I do what I can if you upload a new version. This will help me out a lot! On 10/24/07, Daniel Schröer via RT <bug-Lab-VISA@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
