Not stupid at all!

I want to build my own perl installation, not use the system perl. I’m doing things a little differently, I’ll admit, so I’m not surprised to see I’m running into some difficulty. But, bottom line, if you follow the installation procedure, it won’t work. That means the sympa documentation is misleading and the sympa_wizard needs some updating. As a relative newcomer, I found installing sympa (even when I did use the OS packages) was a very painful process that took me 3 weeks to get right (I do this after hours on my own, so I have limited time).

I’ve contacted the owner of the cpan module to see if I can become a contributor and fix the module. I’m also going to start working with the sympa dev team to test, and help fix, these bugs.

I was just reaching out to this group to see if anyone else had this problem, but now that I’ve debugged it, the answer has to be “yes.” This cpan module doesn’t build, period.

Hello,

 

I'll say something stupid, but why not use the libmime-lite-html-perl.deb package ?

 

Regards.

Objet : [sympa-users] Failure building MIME::Lite::HTML cpan module

 

I am trying to build the cpan MIME::Lite::HTML module, but it is failing to pass tests after the build.

 

I have tried multiple times to clean up the build directory and rebuild, but the results are always the same: the build fails. Even force will not work.

 

I’m failing 67 of the 195 tests. The return values on a lot of these tests look like a character encoding problem, but it’s hard to tell.

 

I’ve attached the output of the build. I found two tickets in this module’s cpan site, and they were years old and had no solution.

 

Ubuntu server 14.02 LTS, perl 2.20

 

Tim
