Perl_5.6.1_dingetje

[koni]

This is what I am getting when I try to install perl_5.6.1_dingetje package. Any ideas what is wrong?

Unpacking i386-linux stuff for site_perl...
cd: can't cd to /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/boot/2600~/perl_5.6.1_dingetje: cannot open i386-linux.tgz: No such file or directory
i386-linux.tgz seems to be corrupt, try downloading again.
BusyBox v0.60.5-Freesco (02/18/2007) multi-call binary

The first question is where are you trying to install the package from and the second question is if you have tried to install it again and from another URL ?

Here is the link and I have tried it several times.

The i386-linux.tgz tarball is embedded in the normal package tarball. The only reason it's there its because the path length of the site_perl stuff exceeds the 100 character limit of the built in 'star' (serial tar) command of FREESCO. This is why its now extracted in a 2-step approach. The normal package tarball is extracted, and then in the postinstall the i386-linux.tgz is extracted after making the /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 directory the active directory.

Note how the install script fails at the 'cd' command:

cd: can't cd to /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1

but that means the full package tarball didn't extract correctly to begin with!


How did you try to install? Via the package menu or from the commandline using the pkg command?

There is a changed version of this package specifically designed for 038+ systems. Because the star (tar) command in 038 no longer has the 100 character limit so the tarball can be put together and stop the issue with the original package. You can get this version from my web site.
