The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Miles Fidelman <address@concealed>]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to install Sympa 6.0.1 on a new machine (Depian Lenny, new 
install, on top of a xen kernel) - and I'm getting all kinds of errors 
in getting the required perl modules installed.

First off, there are several modules which sympa-wizard.pl --check says 
are not installed, but I've installed them manually with cpan, and the 
wizard still doesn't find them.

Then there's XML::LibXML - which I just can't get to build - via cpan, 
or by manually running perl Makefile.pl, etc.  It can't seem to find one 
of the required libraries, even though libxml2 is installed (I've tried 
both the Debian package and manually building it).

The funny thing is that, on another Debian Lenny machine - that's a 
little older - the modules are there, and an upgrade for Sympa 5.4.2 to 
6.0.1 went (sort of) smoothly. (I'm trying to migrate from the older 
machine to the newer one and now I'm stuck.)

Am I the only one running into this, or has anybody else out there run 
into similar problems?  And if so, how did you work through them?

Alternatively, any suggestions on how to role back to version 5 (I did 
save the database) - what else has to be restored?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Miles Fidelman
