** Using WeBWorK **

Is it a good idea to post these notes here (they are longish), or to try to add them to the wiki?

I've also been unsuccessful at installing on a similar iMac running Tiger (Mac OS 10.4). I'm not sure if this is the only problem, but I can't get Data::UUID to compile on that platform. I also have notes on this process, but if someone else has succeeded at this, that would be far more interesting than my failures!

Go ahead and post your experiences in a new topic off of InstallNotes on the TWiki.

What errors do you get when compiling Data::UUID?

<| Post or View Comments |>

And I'm not sure what else is relevant.

The symptom of things not working that I have is that the "webwork2" page doesn't load (although webwork2_files loads, and mod-perl is working).

Any hints would be just great! Has anyone successfully installed webworks on Mac OS 10.4?

Here is the output from making Data::UUID:

[adams:~/.cpan/build/Data-UUID-0.11] sadofsky% make cc -c -g -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -Os -DVERSION="0.11" -DXS_VERSION="0.11" "-I/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE" -D_STDIR="/var/tmp" -D__darwin__ -D_DEFAULT_UMASK=0007 UUID.c In file included from UUID.xs:4: UUID.h:93: error: conflicting types for 'uuid_t' /usr/include/unistd.h:121: error: previous declaration of 'uuid_t' was here make: [UUID.o] Error 1 [adams:~/.cpan/build/Data-UUID-0.11] sadofsky%

And then SOAP::Lite builds just fine, but does dismally on 'make test':

You say:

The symptom of things not working that I have is that the "webwork2" page doesn't load (although webwork2_files loads, and mod-perl is working).

but does this mean there is an error produced for the ww2 page, or that it appears to load with no errors but is blank? If it is the latter, you probably need to recompile mod_perl.c. This has come up before (see http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/discuss/msgReader$3083#3088), and the solution is to recompile mod_perl.c. This is easy to do, as I recall; google "mod_perl source download" and you should be able to find a copy. I used mod_perl 1.0, as I think 2.0 is for apache2.

As for Data::UUID, I would check line 93 of UUID.h in ~/.CPAN/Build/Data-UUID-0.11 against line 121 of /usr/include/unistd.h and see what the difference is. The error message suggests they should both be declaring uuid_t, but in different ways. You might need to edit UUID.h to conform to the system version.

I don't think that SOAP is used in the standard installation of WW (it is for the remote rendering deamon?), so you might ignore the errors in the test and go ahead with the installation anyway.

Good luck.

No, it isn't a case of a blank page loading. Although I don't know if the mod_perl shipped with Os 10.4 works perfectly, I think Apple have fixed that particular problem.

I get an "internal apache error" (That particular server is down right now, and I won't be playing with it for two weeks, so I can't post exactly what it was right now.)

I will try your suggestion of editing the Data::UUID source when I get back to that server!

They hadn't as of 10.3.9 (I haven't updated to 10.4 on the server yet). When I did my 10.3.9 update, it happily replaced my working mod_perl with a broken one. But a quick recompile fixed the problem again.

[Tue Sep 13 14:41:21 2005] [error] Can't locate Data/UUID.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/pg/lib /usr/local/webwork2/lib /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 . /usr/ /usr/lib/perl) at /usr/local/webwork2/lib/WeBWorK/Upload.pm line 63.nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/webwork2/lib/WeBWorK/Upload.pm line 63.nCompilation failed in require at /usr/local/webwork2/lib/WeBWorK.pm line 55.nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/webwork2/lib/WeBWorK.pm line 55.nCompilation failed in require at /usr/local/webwork2/lib/Apache/WeBWorK.pm line 36.nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/webwork2/lib/Apache/WeBWorK.pm line 36.nCompilation failed in require at (eval 162) line 3.n [Tue Sep 13 14:41:21 2005] [error] Undefined subroutine &Apache::WeBWorK::handler called.n

The first line implicates the lack of Data:UUID (which I still can't get to compile).

The second line may just follow from the first problem, or maybe it is an independent problem - I'm too ignorant to be able to tell!

After unpacking that tar file, and running perl Makefile.pl, run make as usual. This will produce the error you saw before, but will also create the UUID.c file, which you will need to edit.

Make the following changes:

• In UUID.c, move the line
  #include "UUID.h" (line 13)
  to above the line
  #line 1 "UUID.xs" (line 9)

Then run make again; it should now succeed (at least it did for me). It also passed make test.

Hope it works for you.
