doc/bugs/Can__39__t_build_2.49__63__.mdwn



Solved - see Buo's suggestion below
I'm using ikiwiki on a shell account/hosting site where I can build but have no root privileges. I went to build 2.49 last night, but make fails with the following error:

I looked at that patch of inline.pm, but nothing obvious jumped out at me, and I'm reluctant to tinker with it on my own. Other details that may be useful:

perl is 5.10.0 (built myself on the account, rather than the system perl)
The host system is Debian Etch
Kernel is a custom 2.6.16-xen kernel
Gcc 4.1.2

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

See this report: [[2.45_Compilation_error]]


I don't know if this is the same problem you're seeing, but it looks similar.
The issue is unresolved AFAICT, but I haven't had a chance to try 2.49 yet.


The only workaround I've found is to completely remove any previous ikiwiki
installation that might be present on the system. --Buo

Thanks, Buo. I removed the traces of the previous ikiwiki, and I was able to install. No luck getting the new search plugin to work, but we'll leave that for another day. Thanks again.
Quick follow-up: 2.50 compiled and installed without a hitch. Just thought I would mention it...
