ok .....

here is what i get when going to the default install path /usr/bin and typing frozen-bubble ...

root@arledges:/usr/bin# frozen-bubble
Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/frozen-bubble line 51.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/frozen-bubble line 51.
root@arledges:/usr/bin#

when cking www.frozen-bubble.org i found in t/s section ....

Can't locate SDL.pm in @INC... message at startup: either you didn't install sdlperl, or you installed it at the wrong location. Check where the file "SDL.pm" was installed on your system and what is the @INC search path of perl, there are chances they don't match.

so i went to slacky.eu and downloaded Perl 1.20 (couldn't find 1.19)
and got the same results as above when typing frozen-bubble at /usr/bin ......

i am not sure what a @INC search path is or how to edit it ... maybe perl IS not in the same search path as frozen-bubble but not sure how to change a search path .....

ALSO,,, this error references gettext.pm but the SDL.pm and @INC are the only references in t/s on the frozen-bubble website that are even remotely close to the error message i am getting ....


any heads up ?????????
thanks !!!!

You're missing the SDL.pm module. Download it from CPAN and install it. The link is here: http://search.cpan.org/~dgoehrig/SDL_Perl-2.1.3/, click the download link.

Uncompress it, then "cd" into that new folder. Type in "perl Makefile.PL", then "make", "make test", and then "make install".

Or may be 'sdlperl_1.20.3dfsg.orig.tar.gz' from
http://debian.mirror.inra.fr/debian/...ain/s/sdlperl/

I cannot get version 2.13 to work with frozen-bubble.
"1.20.3" works fine.

Regards

TB0ne and others :-),

not sure what directory was made here, when i try to CD into /lib/SDL i get a directory does not exist error ....

do you think you could look at this and let me know what directory to CD into to run ... " perl Makefile.PL", then "make", "make test", and then "make install"." .....

regards,

There are 3 types of "Perl Modules" (or more ?)
1) 'perl Makefile.PL' .. 'make' .. 'make install' is used.
2) 'perl Build.PL' .. './Build' .. './Build install'
....SDL_Perl-2.1.3 is type 2)
3) 'configure' .. 'make' .. 'make install'
....SDL_perl-1.20.3 is type 3) and is the one to be
used for 'frozen-bubble' AFAIK.

Regards

ok .....
i know i am a "tool" but here it is .....

unpacked the .tar.gz file from above ... "sdl_perl_1.20.3.dfsg.orig.tar.gz" ...

this created SDL_perl-1.20.3 ...

in Konsole i went into this directory and typed ./configure but it errored out ....the man -k configure was about as much help as trying to pull my own teeth ..... so ...here is the contents of SDL_perl-1.20.0 ...

again, i know i am a "tool" but am i supposed to type ./configue < > and use one of the above files in < > ?????

thanks as always and i will perservere and my wife will love me .... at least for 15 minutes ????

The command './configure' or 'sh configure'
will create a file by name "Makefile"
( if there are no errors ) to let you do
'make'

But you do not show the errors mentioned,
if you do, a solution may be found.

Regards

ok .... thanks for the offer of a solution ...
here is what i have in the SDL_perl directory created by untarring the SDL_perl-1.20.3<whatever>.tar.gz

also as i CD into the directory and type ./configure ....i get command not found ..

thanks for your patience ... i have limited time to dedcicate to the pursuit of Linux and things Linux releated ..... but i totally enjoy it
sincerely
david

Try again : 'cd SDL_perl-1.20.3' or
'cd /home/wdave58/tmp/SDL_perl-1.20.3 or whatever the
path to the app is.
If you do the command './configure' the wrong place
the reply usually is
" bash: ./configure: No such file or directory "

Also try 'sh configure'

this is the result of my SDL_perl-1.20.3 directory

i see the congigure* but when i use ./configure or sh configure either as user or root i get -

configure: line 3: perl: command not found

which is a little different than perevios as it lists the "perl" not found ..

if i am in the wrong path or directory then maybe i should delete everything and download the SDL_perl-1.20.3.tar.gz again, i do not have the results of expanding/unpacking this file to find exactly where everything went, but i recognize most of it in the SDL_perl-1.20.3 directory above which resides on the Desktop ...

sorry i takes me so long to reply, i get up, reply, go to work, get off work and go to sleep ...boring i know but i get to see my daughter now everyday so i'm "all good"

one other thing ...

when i copy and paste the Konsole results in <here> it reads ... OK .... then once i post the reply it give the coding for the paste not the paste results themselves ...
sorry

I would say that something is wrong with your perl :
Try the command 'perl -v' . The reply should look like this :

here at last is a re-downloaded perl.tar.gz file for 1.20.3:

have tried ./configure which exists here as well as just "make" and perl Makefile.PL which also exists here ...

any ideas what i am doing wrong?

thanks,
david

sorry,,,,
also when i go into the Perl_1.20.3 directory and see the above files i also have tried the <perl -v> command and instead of a version i get "bash - bad command or file name" .....
i think i must install "perl" first .... before running the version check ---- no???
thought i would throw this out because it didn't make sense to me ...
thanks also again ...
david

ok ...
a .tgz file seems to install/configure itself
a .tar.gz file needs de-compressing then as noted above ...
configure
make
and then su to root priveleges and make-install
if i am correct so far ...
my perl install has been de-compressed but refuses to acknowlege
./configure
configure
make
./make
or
make-install
as well as perl Makefile.PL and Makefile.linux
a cusroury view of perl.com allows me to understand some switches such as
listed
perl -v
perl -V
and
perl -W as well as @.INC
so these refuse to cooperate as well .... so i'm thinking i'm missing something very basic here .....
ideas?//
