 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]]

 ## Installation in a non-root enviroment
 I had a pretty hellacious time installing Ikiwiki (largely due to problems

+##Further problems with Bundle::IkiWiki
+I'm also having trouble with finding Bundle::IkiWiki.  I've tried it with the environment settings and without them, and also using the interactive 
+form of the cpan command.  I've also gone to cpan.org and searched -- eg
+
+    http://search.cpan.org/search?query=ikiwiki&mode=all
+
+and no Bundle for IkiWiki comes up at all.
+
+The error I get from the various cpan attempts is basically always the same:
+
+    Warning: Cannot install Bundle::IkiWiki, don't know what it is.
+    Try the command
+
+        i /Bundle::IkiWiki/
+
+    to find objects with matching identifiers.
+
+When I try that command, BTW, it basically seems to find the same stuff I get when searching on the cpan web site.
+
+This happens both on Ubuntu 8.04 and CentOS 5.1
+
+Any help would be greatly appreciated... --kent

+
+Just today I noticed the "Bundle" subdirectory.  What a moron I am! :-)  Also, I misunderstood the PERL5LIB=`pwd` part -- 
+I glibly thought it indicated the sink for the installation of the modules, rather than the source, and I was running 
+the cpan command from another window in a different directory, and just spiraled down into error...
