Thread: installation problems
Hi, Im trying to install network administration visulalized http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi/FrontPage . In their installation page they have mentioned to install pgsql_perl5-1.9.0 from CPAN by doing #perl -MCPAN -e 'install Pg' but I get the following errors CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Mon, 27 Jun 2005 05:58:10 GMT Running install for module Pg Running make for M/ME/MERGL/pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::MD5 loaded ok CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/M/ME/MERGL/pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.tar.gz ok Scanning cache /root/.cpan/build for sizes pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/ pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/eg/ pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/eg/ApachePg.pl pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/eg/example.pl pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/eg/lo_demo.pl pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/Changes pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/MANIFEST pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/Makefile.PL pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/Pg.pm pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/Pg.xs pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/README pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/test.pl pgsql_perl5-1.9.0/typemap Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/pgsql_perl5-1.9.0 CPAN.pm: Going to build M/ME/MERGL/pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.tar.gz Configuring Pg Remember to actually read the README file !

The error message is being generated by Perl, and could simply be a problem with the test script. It doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem with your build, or any problem with Postgres. You could try a force install and see if it works as expected afterward, or try to contact the developer of the module. In any case, it probably doesn't have anything to do with Postgres or libpq, so you may need to seek your answer elsewhere. Best regards, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.

Hi, README of this Perl module says: --- Run 'make test'. Note, that the user running this script must have been created with the access rights to create databases. Do not run this script as root ! --- AFAIK Pg is quite old and no longer maintained since long (README is from 2000/04/04). Instead, DBD::Pg is the preferredperl interface to PostgreSQL. Maybe the actual PostgreSQL protocol isn__t even supported: --- REQUIREMENTS: ------------- - build, test and install Perl5 (at least 5.003) - build, test and install PostgreSQL (at least 6.5) --- And if I read the installation list correctly, they refer to DBD::Pg and not to the Pg module (eg. CentOS, http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi/InstallingOnRHEL4): --- yum -y install perl-DBI # Checked out, AlertEngine needs it [Engine.pm] yum -y install perl-DBD-Pg # Checked out, AlertEngine needs it --- So better you check the metanav installation page again, maybe you can use DBD::Pg (which is usually quite straightforwardto install, if you installed PostgreSQL correctly).
