(1) This package does not follow the CPAN convention of providing a Makefile.PL which the user runs perl against. That would be ok, except there are no instructions on what to do. (2) ran 'perl Build.PL' which created a script 'Build'. ran Build [ success ] ran Build test [ success ] ran Build install Running make install-lib /bin/ginstall -c -d /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i486-linux-thread-multi/Alien/SVN --prefix=/usr /bin/ginstall: unrecognized option `--prefix=/usr' Try `/bin/ginstall --help' for more information. /bin/ginstall --version install (GNU coreutils) 6.12 Investigation shows that the build script is trying to call make install-lib in the subversion directory and the Makefile entries for dirs have '--prefix=/usr' added as an extra argument.

Please note that I am no longer actively maintaining Alien::SVN, my need for it is done (SVK is dead and I no longer use SVN). Several people have expressed interest in taking over maintenance but none have yet produced. On Mon Mar 23 20:27:42 2009, rcoe@wi.rr.com wrote: Show quoted text

Build.PL is the other CPAN convention. It has been around for eight years. That said, the project would gladly accept an INSTALL document. Show quoted text

There's been a number of unreleased fixes in this area of the code. Perhaps you can try them out and report back? http://github.com/schwern/alien-svn

Thanks, this has already been done in the repository. Please see http://github.com/schwern/alien-svn Show quoted text

This appears to be a mistake in your patch? $configure_args was never passed as a reference.

As I haven't heard back, I'm going to presume this is ok and close it up. Please re-open if that isn't the case.
