# Installation/Setup questions
I have just installed ikiwiki and it works - at least I have the example index.mdwn page
-complied and visible. However I have a few issues/problems:-
+compiled and visible. However I have a few issues/problems:-
* A couple of the 'optional' Perl modules aren't optional, you can't install ikiwiki without them,
these are HTML::Template and HTML::Scrubber (at least I think it was these two, it's a bit messy
my local settings. There are no errors but neither does anything get compiled. An ikiwiki
command to explicitly do the compile works fine. Am I misunderstanding something here?
+> Further tests indicate that ikiwiki isn't seeing changed files so doesn't always rebuild.
+> How does ikiwiki decide when to rebuild? I tried a full command line like "ikiwiki --verbose ikiwiki ~/public_html/ikiwiki --url=http://www.isbd.ltd.uk/~chris/ikiwiki/" and that doesn't do anything
+either though it was the command line I originally used to compile. After a long interval I 'touch'ed
+the files and then it *did* compile but 'touch'ing the files after a few minutes only doesn't seem to force a recompile. I'm even more confused!

* I wish there was a mailing list, much easier for this sort of stuff than this, apart from
anything else I get to use a decent editor.
