Could not launch git-svn

grissiom · 06-07-2008, 09:25 AM

Code:

bash-3.1$ git-svn
Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Git.pm line 93.

It seems like I lack some of perl modules. But I have all git and svn related packages installed. Does anyone have any idea?

You probably need this, but I barely know perl and git-svn, so don't trust me too much.

Yes, installing the Error package solves the problem a bit. But I still got an error when launching git svn:

Code:

bash-3.1$ git-svn
Can't locate SVN/Core.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/bin/git-svn line 29.

It seems that git needs this SVN Perl module as dependency.

Another link for you:

Many thanks rg3 and gnashley. problem fixed after installing the Error, Alien-SVN and Module-Build (which is needed when build Alien-SVN).

This helped me also.
On cygwin SVN::Core comes in a package called subversion-perl. Handy. Easy.

On solaris it helps to know Alien::SVN is what can provide SVN::Core.
Solaris package for git (for solaris 10 intel/amd) from opensolaris/blastwave doesn't exist! :-o
So even the minimal package management you get with opensolaris pkg-get isn't possible.
Solaris package for git from sunfreeware is available, but for git svn you need to add some things.

I didn't find building Alien::SVN at all straightforward, see here:

Hopefully this can help other hapless solaris users.

I was having trouble getting git-svn to run. I used cpan to install all the modules suggested in this thread and it still wouldn't work. I fought with cpan for about 4 hours and all that came of it was and even deeper hatred of Perl.

Then, I looked on SBo and saw this: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12...sion-bindings/

Solved all my git-svn problems.

I feel like an idiot for not looking of SBo first, but hopefully I can save someone else from the pain of what I went through.

Thanks! Although I do not use git-svn nowadays(purely git instead

I feel I'm an idiot too for not looking at SBo
