I recently installed webwork on two new slackware linux boxes. I used
the redhat instructions as a guide since it is fairly close. Some of
the frustrations: When testing for libgdbm in perl, "perl -V" has too much output and "ldd perl" only shows shared libraries. The default perl for current slackware has gdbm support but it is linked statically. A better test might be "perl -V | grep libs". HTML-Parser perl module required HTML-Tagset. The docs should warn about this (or include a copy of what is needed in the distribution). The GD perl module requires libgd. Again, the docs should warn about this and/or provide sources for libgd (if allowed by its author). John |
