xmltv setup errors

running RH8.0

I am trying to install xmltv 0.5.2 and I have installed the various needed
perl modules
but I am getting errors all over the place.

first of all, I can't get XML::Twig to install properly which causes
errors in the makefile for xmltv.
here are the errors I'm getting

this also spits out to the terminal during the make test

any ideas?

No, but the xmltv list might.

I too had problems. I don't recall all the details, but I did find that
the file:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/XML/Twig.pm

was lacking a required '1' return value. If you add a line that says:

1;

before the '__END__' in that file, that may help.

This is with the redhat supplied rpm for XML::Twig, which is
'perl-XML-Twig-3.05-3'.

If I remember right, I had the problems you outlined below when I tried to
install XML::Twig from source, but I got the redhat rpm version going with
the hack above.

I'd like to hope it isn't RedHat that have caused this mess.

justin, thanks for the tip.
that got rid of the xml twig error
i am also getting TONS of errors similar to the following.

Malformed UTF-8 character (1 byte, need 3, after start byte 0xe3) at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Date/Manip.pm line 6497, <STDIN> line 4

when I try to perl Makefile.PL the xmltv.

If you're still having problems getting XMLTV to work, here's what I
learned on the the XMLTV list from people who had the same issue.
Turns out that Perl 5.8 changed some things, so if you've got 5.8 you
need to go to the xmltwig.com site and download XMLTWIG v3.09.

That fixed it for me.

Note that CPAN will still download the v3.08 of XMLTWIG as of two
days ago.
