AW: [cobalt-developers] Perl 5.6 on Raq 4

["Scaglione Ermanno" <scaglione@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Recently someone installed perl 5.6.1 on our Raq4, as already pointed out in
this list the admin no longer works. After a day spent trying to solve the
problem I found a solution, it is not easy and not fast but it works.
install perl 5.6.1 in /usr/bin overwriting the old one (don´t forget DB_File
libdb2.x).
Just do a
>>rpm -q --whatrequires perl
that is the result on my raq4:
autoconf-2.13-5
automake-1.4-6
cvs-1.10.8-C1
libnet-1.0606-1
libwww-perl-5.43-1
postgresql-perl-7.0.2-2C1
Data-Dumper-2.101-1
Digest-MD5-2.07-1
HTML-Parser-2.23-1
LWPng-alpha-0.24-1
MIME-Base64-2.11-1
WebFS-FileCopy-1.00-1
URI-1.02-1
perl-MD5-1.7-6
Authen-PAM.pm-0.04-1
perl-Devel-Symdump-2.00-2
perl-quota-1.2.3-1C1
perl-XML-Parser-2.26-2
gettext-pm-1.01-1
postgresql-perl-7.0.2-2

at this point simply download all the SRPM for those pagages and do for each
a
>>rpm --rebuild XXXXXX.src.rpm
>>rpm -i --force /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/XXXXXX.rpm

if you just need the admin you need only the following pakages


perl-quota-1.2.3-1C1
perl-XML-Parser-2.26-2
gettext-pm-1.01-1
postgresql-perl-7.0.2-2 (you need to recompile the whole postgres stuff, and
install only this rpm)

I absolutely don´t recommend this procedure, but if you get in trouble like
me, it is faster than a full restore, and gives you perl 5.6.1...

Trust me it works! I have 5.6 running on my machine alongside the original
perl.  When you compile it, just use --prefix=/usr/local because the
original is installed in /usr.  hope this helps

I tried it and it DOES break all the web-admin gui stuff.  They also said
it voids the warranty.

         dZ.

At around 6/24/2001, You said something like:
