| Subject: | Can't bootstrap local::lib on Ubuntu (permission problem) |
After downloading local-lib 1.006000 on Ubuntu 8.04, and calling
perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
it pulls in various modules from CPAN and breaks at CPAN.pm, which it
tries to update in the main root and fails because it's running under
user permissions. It would probably work with root permissions, but I
don't want to modify any files that are maintained by the package manager.
Output below, would be great if you could look into it. Thanks!
CPAN-1.9402/
