[Bricolage-General] newbie make install problem
I am very new to the whole Linux/open source thing so please excuse me if I
have missed something obvious ...

I am installing bricolage for evaluation purposes, but am having trouble ...
I am using the following:
Red Hat Linux 8.0
postgresql 7.3.2
apache 1.3.27
mod_perl 1.27
bricolage 1.4.6

The "make" works OK, I seem to have all the pre-requisites sorted out. But
during "make install" of bricolage I get the following error, shortly after
the bricolage database has been created:

Finishing database...
Done.
perl inst/conf.pl INSTALL `perl -ne '/VERSION.*?([\d\.]+)/ and print $1 and
exit
' < lib/Bric.pm`


==> Creating Bricolage Conf Files <==

Reading conf/bricolage.conf...
############################################################################
###

Unable to set bricolage.conf variable APACHE_BIN to
"/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
".
############################################################################
###
make: *** [conf] Error 1


I have seen in the bug list on Sourceforge that someone else had the same
problem and it was due to apache running mod_perl as a shared module instead
of a statically compiled module. I have checked my apache build using
"/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -l" and got the following result:

Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_env.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_mime.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_status.c
mod_include.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_dir.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_asis.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_setenvif.c
mod_perl.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec

... so it looks like mod_perl is there, but should I be concerned about the
suexec thing?

Has anybody got any ideas as to why bricolage won't build?

What's in your conf/bricolage.conf file?

RE: [Bricolage-General] newbie make install problem [ In reply to ]
I think I'm going to re-build the server and start again.

By the way, when I unpacked the Bricolage tar file, the INSTALL file
(Bric::Admin) was not displaying properly in Nautilus or gedit - it got cut
off after about 168 lines. I had not paid much attention to this initially
because I was following the 'quick' installation.

I don't know whether this affects all downloads of 1.4.6 or if I was just
unlucky?

But now I've got the whole file (by opening it with OpenOffice) and the
installation instructions for mod_perl and apache are a bit different to the
instructions that come with mod_perl itself. Hence I think I'd better start
from scratch ...

Since you can open the file in OpenOffice, and since it's just a plain
text file, it sounds like a limitation of Nautilus and gedit. Unless it
was somehow truncated when it was unpacked or something. If
conf/bricolage.conf was truncated, that would explain the problems you
had yesterday.

Good luck with the fresh build.

Regards,

David
