+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]]

I am trying to install Ikiwiki version 2.1 from the source tarball.
It has all gone fairly smoothly until I try and run 'make'.
i /TimeDate/
to find objects with matching identifiers.
+I'm trying to build IkiWiki on a fresh OpenSuse 10.3 box. I start out with
+
+ $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Text::Markdown URI HTML::Parser HTML::Template HTML::Scrubber'
+ $ git clone git://git.ikiwiki.info/ ikiwiki && cd ikiwiki
+ $ perl Makefile.PL && make
+
+Are there other prerequisites?
+I also installed all optional Perl modules, except TimeDate.
+
+> TimeDate is also, confusingly, known as Date::Parse. Perhaps CPAN would

+
+good. Date::Parse was already installed. --[[vibrog]]
+
+`make` exits with `make: *** [extra_build] Aborted`, `make test` complains `cannot stat 'ikiwiki.man'` --[[vibrog]]
+
+> If you show me the actual error message, and not just the last line make
+> outputs, I might be able to help. --[[Joey]]
