Greetings,
I need to install the gettext-1.05 perl module from CPAN because
some inherited , very obscure unmaintenable scripts I _need_ to run on FC8
64 bit need it.
When I run the perl Makefile.PL command, I get:
[root@polaris gettext-1.05]# perl Makefile.PL
checking for gettext... no
checking for gettext in -lintl... no
gettext function not found. Please install libintl at Makefile.PL line 18
but I don't know anymore where to find this libintl thing. After the first
time I got this error, I did:
yum install gettext
yum install perl-libintl
yum install perl-gettext
yum install libintl
yum install gettext-devel
and nothing changed, I still get that error. yum search libintl only returns:
perl-libintl.x86_64 : Internationalization library for Perl, compatible
with gettext
what else? I've even installed by hand the libintl-perl and
Locale::Maketext::Gettext modules from CPAN, and nothing changes, I still
get that error. What do I need to install to make it go away?
Thank you in advance for any feedback,
Marco
PS: if it helps, the error message comes from this piece of Makefile.PL:
unless (conftest("char *x = gettext(\"foo\");", "gettext", 0)) {
# try with -lintl
$libs = "-lintl";
unless (conftest("char *x = gettext(\"foo\");", "gettext", 0)) {
unlink("conftest.c");
unlink("conftest");
die "gettext function not found. Please install libintl";
}
