I just did a fresh install 12.2. Works great. Now, I'm trying to install the slackbuild.org version of slimserver for 12.2. After installing the package, I'm directed to run a rebuild script. Here is my output:

I'm probably in over my head with this. Any idea what to do?

That's the script you were running. Thus it appears it (slimserver app) needs to build a few additional Perl modules as some of its last steps of prepping itself for readiness to be used.

Should able to extract, find, and even make (as a user).

(thus, no explanation for the error). Perhaps a download problem happened -- you might try again. cpan (Perl stuff) used to need to be configured and lwp used to need to be installed -- but that was on 5.8.x Perl whereas Slack 12.2 uses 5.10.x Perl -- Yay!! for using 5.10.x Perl!!

My 5.10.x Perl around toits **will soon** happen as will my Slack 12.2 around toits.

To install (the additional Perl modules), however, will require rootly powers (unless you install the modules to your user's home folder).

Is Slackware 12.2 like how 12.1 is for me

in that when a user writes underneath /tmp

the file permissions of those files written are that user's file permissions
