Hello!
I'm trying to set up BackupPC 3.0beta3 on a brand new installation of
CentOS 3.8. Here's what I've done:
1) Install a minimal installation of CentOS 3.8. I know that there are
other modules I will need, but it's not relevant for this error.
2) Unpack BackupPC 3.0beta3
3) Type: perl configure.pl
When I do this, I get the following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] BackupPC-3.0.0beta3]# perl configure.pl
Error loading BackupPC::FileZIO: Too many arguments for
Encode::decode_utf8 at lib/BackupPC/FileZIO.pm line 252, near "0)"
Compilation failed in require at (eval 17) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 17) line 2.
BackupPC cannot load the package BackupPC::FileZIO, which is included in the
BackupPC distribution. This probably means you did not cd to the
unpacked BackupPC distribution before running configure.pl, eg:
cd BackupPC-3.0.0beta3
./configure.pl
Please try again.
I *have* cd to the unpacked directory. This is the exact same procedure
I've done quite successfully with CentOS 4.4, but it is not working with
CentOS 3.8. I've also done a "yum update" to make sure that my
installation is up to date without effect.
CentOS 3.8 uses perl 5.8.0; CentOS 4.4 uses 5.8.5. I'm not sure if
this makes a difference, but 5.8.0 is the latest version available on
CentOS 3. I tried installing the 5.8.5 RPM from CentOS 4, but there are
too many missing dependencies.
Does anyone know of something else I could try? I can't use CentOS 4.4
(or any distro based on 2.6 kernels) because of a DMA problem with this
motherboard and recent 2.6 kernels.
Thank you very much for your help. I greatly appreciate it.
