What is the easiest way to install the Perl Tk Module. I have RedHat 9.0 and have tried many different methods-make, make install etc. All with errors-one of the C files was not even complete. It ended with a if(bla bla bla) {
That was the end of the script line number 165???
Finally I tried to rpm it and the list of dependencies is overwhelming.
I can't find it on the RedHat Distro Cd so I was wondering if anyone else has dad any luck.
TIA

p.s I need it for Bastille...

do you have apt4rpm?

http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/

There is a repository for rh9, and it has a lot of pkgs that arent in the distro and it handles dependencies.

No I don't . I followed the link and it seemed harder to install that than Perl Tk. Thanks for the link. I guess there is no easy way. Oh well...

Howdy,

I was having this problem (a bunch of missing dependencies). There is a link to a chart at the Bastille homepage down by the install intructions:

http://www.bastille-linux.org/perl-rpm-chart.html

(The links don't go to the right pages, but after a bit of searching I found these pages:

http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/atrpms/ (install this one first)

http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/perl-Tk/
This is perl-tk

Then you can install bastille. (note: I didn't have to install perl-curses either)

Good Luck

That is as easy as it gets. I just rpm'ed two rpm's and bastille worked.

Thanks again,

Hi, please suggest me how to install the perl-Tk module on the "Wind river platform".

Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.

Please verify this log once::

I installed both Bastille as well as the perl-Tk, but still I am getting the below WARNING.

Hah! You are unlikely to get replies here, you're right. For the sake of those who follow, the Wind-River discussion continues here.
