1 No matter what I do, ikiwiki gives me a `Can't locate loadable object for module Locale::gettext in @INC` although I've installed (and reinstalled) the Locale module, and no luck. If I look at the directories in the INC path, I can see the file. The wiki won't compile in spite of this, and I've tried everything I can think of.. -- [[tychoish]]
4 I am trying to install Ikiwiki version 2.1 from the source tarball.
6 It has all gone fairly smoothly until I try and run 'make'.
8 I.e. I have downloaded and unpacked ikiwiki_2.1.tar.gz and have run
15 However when I then run 'make' I get:-
17 LANG=C perl -I. -T ikiwiki.out doc html --templatedir=templates \
18 --underlaydir=basewiki --nousedirs\

30 How do I fix this? There may be a bit of old ikiwiki left behind because

41 Well I have searched around and there really is nothing left that I can see.
43 I have removed *everything* found by 'find' and 'locate' that contains 'ikiwiki' except the tar file
44 and started from the beginning again and I see exactly the same error.
46 Is it that I maybe have a too old version of some of the Perl dependencies? The only mdwn.pm files
47 that I have are the two I have just extracted from the new tar file. There is *no* ./IkiWiki.pm file

52 so what/where is it loading to satisfy the ....... aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
54 I wasn't noticing the case of the filename, I'd missed the upper case W and guess what 'find' shows me:-
56 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IkiWiki.pm
58 Removing the above file has fixed my basic problem, now I'm getting lots of (non-fatal) errors
59 about "Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm", presumably that's a missing Perl module, I can probably
63 ## Errors when running 'make test'
65 OK, I've now got it to compile and install and presumably it's basically working. However there
66 are a few errors when I run 'make test'. Several errors have disappeared by installing more Perl
67 stuff (specifically XML::SAX)
69 > XML::SAX is a requirement of XML::Simple, which is a documented build
70 > requirement. (Only really needed if you'll be using subversion actually).
72 and one error disappeared when I did a 'make install', i.e. the 'make
73 test' has a test which requires IkiWiki to be installed first.
75 > Yes, that bug is already fixed in subversion for the next release
78 However I'm still getting the following error in 'make test':-

96 This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux
98 ## Installation in a non-root enviroment
99 I had a pretty hellacious time installing Ikiwiki (largely due to problems
100 in Perl) and documented them in [[tips/SharedHosting]]. I'd like to get feedback on the doc and also know if I should file a few bugs to make the installation process a little friendlier to non-root folks. Thanks for the great app!
105 [..] Mail::Sendmail, TimeDate, RPC::XML, [..]: should be DateTime? --[[vibrog]]
107 > No, TimeDate and DateTime are two different CPAN modules. Ikiwiki uses

110 ah, i still don't fully get it, though (the following is slightly shortened):
112 $ perl -MCPAN -e shell
113 cpan> install DateTime
114 DateTime is up to date.
115 cpan> install TimeDate
116 Warning: Cannot install TimeDate, don't know what it is.
119 to find objects with matching identifiers.
121 I'm trying to build IkiWiki on a fresh OpenSuse 10.3 box. I start out with
123 $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Text::Markdown URI HTML::Parser HTML::Template HTML::Scrubber'
124 $ git clone git://git.ikiwiki.info/ ikiwiki && cd ikiwiki
125 $ perl Makefile.PL && make
127 Are there other prerequisites?
128 I also installed all optional Perl modules, except TimeDate.
130 > TimeDate is also, confusingly, known as Date::Parse. Perhaps CPAN would
131 > do better with that name. --[[Joey]]
133 good. Date::Parse was already installed. --[[vibrog]]
135 `make` exits with `make: *** [extra_build] Aborted`, `make test` complains `cannot stat 'ikiwiki.man'` --[[vibrog]]
