Re: module versions / Re: [las_users] las install problem

[Jonathan Callahan <Jonathan.S.Callahan@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for digging into this Rob.

For the non-perl gurus out there I'll just clarify that Rob went into the configure.pl script and modified the version checking code in  "sub searchModules {" so that it is happy with the versions supplied by Mandrake.

Facinating, I have these installed, but the configure script show them as 
not installed (Mandrake 10.1):

The following Perl modules haven't been installed:
        Bit::Vector 
        Date::Calc 
    

Might want to consider indicating that they are installed but request a 
better version?
 
  

[cermak@ak las]$ locate Date::Calc
/usr/share/man/man3/Date::Calc.3pm.bz2
/usr/share/man/man3/Date::Calc::Object.3pm.bz2
[cermak@ak las]$ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man3/Date::Calc.3pm.bz2
perl-Date-Calc-5.3-8mdk

[cermak@ak las]$ locate Bit::Vector
/usr/share/man/man3/Bit::Vector.3pm.bz2
/usr/share/man/man3/Bit::Vector::Overload.3pm.bz2
[cermak@ak las]$ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man3/Bit::Vector.3pm.bz2
perl-Bit-Vector-6.3-4mdk

Will do some digging and see where things are not matching up.  Could be 
simple version mismatches.
    

The versions on Mandrake 10.1 are just under the radar.
  Date-Calc requires 5.4
  Bit-Vector requires 6.4

Both available in 10.2.   For 10.1, I rolled the versions back to 5.3 and 
6.3 in configure.pl.  Less than optimal, but the configure script is now
happy.
