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.e. I have downloaded and unpacked ikiwiki_2.1.tar.gz and have run perl Makefile.PL ... which has run OK. However when I then run 'make' I get:- LANG=C perl -I. -T ikiwiki.out doc html --templatedir=templates \ --underlaydir=basewiki --nousedirs\ --wikiname="ikiwiki" --verbose \ --exclude=/discussion --no-discussion --userdir=users \ --plugin=goodstuff \ --plugin=haiku --plugin=polygen --plugin=fortune Failed to load plugin IkiWiki::Plugin::mdwn: IkiWiki version 2 required--this is only version 1.01 at IkiWiki/Plugin/mdwn.pm line 7.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 4) line 2. make: *** [extra_build] Error 1 How do I fix this? There may be a bit of old ikiwiki left behind because I did once have an older version installed but I thought I had removed all traces of it. > I'm quite sure that you still have some of it floating around, since > ikiwiki seems to be loading an old IkiWiki.pm. > > I don't understand though why it's not finding ./IkiWiki.pm first.

I have removed *everything* found by 'find' and 'locate' that contains 'ikiwiki' except the tar file and started from the beginning again and I see exactly the same error. Is it that I maybe have a too old version of some of the Perl dependencies? The only mdwn.pm files that I have are the two I have just extracted from the new tar file. There is *no* ./IkiWiki.pm file > It's interesting that you say you have no ./IkiWiki.pm file, since one is > included in the tarball. What happened to it, I wonder? so what/where is it loading to satisfy the ....... aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I wasn't noticing the case of the filename, I'd missed the upper case W and guess what 'find' shows me:- /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IkiWiki.pm Removing the above file has fixed my basic problem, now I'm getting lots of (non-fatal) errors about "Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm", presumably that's a missing Perl module, I can probably sort that out. ## Errors when running 'make test' OK, I've now got it to compile and install and presumably it's basically working. However there are a few errors when I run 'make test'. Several errors have disappeared by installing more Perl stuff (specifically XML::SAX) > XML::SAX is a requirement of XML::Simple, which is a documented build > requirement. (Only really needed if you'll be using subversion actually). and one error disappeared when I did a 'make install', i.e. the 'make test' has a test which requires IkiWiki to be installed first. > Yes, that bug is already fixed in subversion for the next release > --[[Joey]] However I'm still getting the following error in 'make test':- t/pagename.................ok t/pagespec_match...........ok 1/52Modification of a read-only value attempted at /home/chris/webdev/ikiwiki/blib/lib/IkiWiki.pm line 1023. # Looks like you planned 52 tests but only ran 23. # Looks like your test died just after 23. t/pagespec_match...........dubious Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) DIED.
