$Id: INSTALL,v 1.1 2004/02/26 18:01:53 nik Exp $ AxKit::App::Gallery is installed in the traditional Perl manner; perl Makefile.PL make make test make install However, it has a number of additional dependencies, many of which are undergoing relatively rapid development. This can make it difficult to get a set of libraries installed which work properly. These are notes from installing AxKit::App::Gallery on a clean FreeBSD system. As a minimum the libraries and modules here with these version numbers are known to work. If you're not familiar with FreeBSD's "portupgrade" command, the use of it here ensures that the application/library/module is installed, and that any of the libraries or applications that it depends on that might be out of date are also installed. Consult the documentation for your package management tool (apt, rpm, ...) for equivalent functionality. The "Installed" column notes what was installed, the "Using" column is either "Port", "CPAN", or "CVS". Installed Version Using Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- apache 1.3.29_1 Ports mod_perl 1.28 Ports Data::Page 0.18 CPAN Imager 0.41_1 Ports Using the ports tree meant that Imager's other dependencies, such as libtiff, were pulled down and installed automatically. Image::Info 1.16 CPAN XML::Parser 2.34 CPAN RDF::Core 0.30 CPAN XML::LibXML 1.56 Ports This has known bugs. However, by installing it from the ports tree, I get all its dependencies installed as well. XML::LibXML 1.57 CVS First, delete XML::LibXML 1.56 installed in the previous step. Then pull down 1.57 from the XML::LibXML CVS tree, and install using the traditional "perl Makefile.PL" approach XML::LibXSLT 1.53_1 Ports GnuPG::Interface 0.33_1 Ports Some of AxKit's dependencies need this, or they refuse to install. AxKit 1.6.2 CPAN During the install, ensure that you install XML::XPath when prompted.
