Q: Digest::SHA1 module cannot be loaded
|
|
| Gros Loup 2005-02-08, 3:56 pm |
| Hello
As part of SpamAssassin re-compilation, I need Digest::SHA1 module
available inside PERL.
I could find it on CPAN and I put it on an appropriate directory
(Digest/SHA1.pm under appropriate sub-directory of /usr/lib/perl5).
But I then get an error "unable to load object used by thus module" when
trying to load this module. This error is raised when executing the
line use Digest::SHA1.
Any hint ?
-> I use Fedora Core 3/Perl is 5.8.5/Spam Assassin is 3.0.2.

The module needs to be compiled - simply copying the '.pm' file to the
appropriate location is insufficient. You need to unpack the tarball
then run 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make test', and 'make install'. See
'perldoc perlmodinstall' for details.
Cheers,
Rob

cpan install Digest::SHA1
Should finished without any Error :)

Yes but it is not a tarball. When you go to CPAN site, you've got the
..pm file. Where can you find the tarball ?
Hmmm it looks like like a RTFM question, but I went around the links
provided with SHA1 CPAN page and could not find any tarball !

I usually go to:
http://search.cpan.org/ and do a "Search" for the module I'm after (in
this case, Digest::SHA1). Then click on the link to the module - which
takes you to a page that contains a "Download" link - which provides you
with the source tarball.
(I'd give you actual links but I can't connect to CPAN at the moment.)
The procedure is a little simpler if you have CPAN.pm set up - as
Andreas suggested.
Cheers,
Rob

I think this procedure is good when you have an internet connection. I
have RTC access (30kbps) so it is not that easy to use live programs to
download modules on the fly. Is there a way to download a module first,
THEN to install it ?

What is wrong with Rob's first tip?
The actual URL, in case uou do not want to search CPAN, is:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors...HA1-2.10.tar.gz
