Takaya,

You don't need to upgrade unless something unexpected happens.

To force the 10.1 versions work, edit configure.pl.

On or about line 1600+, find the following lines and change the version
numbers:

--- configure.pl        2005-05-02 11:37:05.000000000 -0800

If you complete the install and find some odd behavior, it may because we
forced LAS to use these slightly older modules.  The comment above says it
all.  If you need to support years < 1000, then this shortcut is NOT what
you want to do.

In that case, follow Jon's prior instructions:

cd ~las/xml/perl/modules/Carp-Clan-5.3

and issue the following commands as root:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

cd ~las/xml/perl/modules/Bit-Vector-6.4

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If try these and the installs fail, let us know.
