Subject:

Easy fix: please mention which libraries are required

I've tried to install XML::LibXSLT as part of MojoMojo, and it died with various error messages which may be a tad too cryptic for a user who just needs the module as a dependency: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcrypt /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdbm I had to go online and find out what these executables are part of. To save future users that time, the POD could mention the required libraries, which as far as I can tell are: libxslt-dev, libgcrypt11-dev (for `lgcrypt`), libgdbm3-dev (for `lgdbm`) and possibly libxml2-dev. HTH, Dan

Hi, the correct dependencies should be determined by pkg-config or xslt-config. Explicit dependencies on other libraries have been removed in the SVN version. The README mentiones briefly the dependencies and how to obtain them. Closing this ticket, thanks, -- Petr Dne st 08.dub.2009 05:32:59, dandv napsal(a): Show quoted text
