Logitech's Squeezeboxserver will not work on 11.3
jamesromeongmail.com
I just installed squeezeboxserver 7.5.1 on my 64-bit OpenSUSE 11.3.
When I try to start it, I get:
:/etc/init.d # ./squeezeboxserver start
Starting Squeezebox Server: Can't locate Slim/bootstrap.pm in @INC
(@INC contains: /usr/libexec /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.1/x86_64-

vendor_perl/5.12.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/
vendor_perl/5.12.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver
line 131.
startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver: 2
perl is installed. What is wrong?
I searched for Slim/bootstrap.pm. It is in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl,
which does not seem to be in the search path! So I moved Slim/
bootstrap.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.1
Now it gets further:
./squeezeboxserver start
Starting Squeezebox Server: Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method
YAML::Syck:umpYAML() is deprecated at /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/
YAML/Syck.pm line 65.
The following modules failed to load: DBD::mysql EV JSON::XS
YAML::Syck GD Sub::Name
*******
NOTE:
If you're running some unsupported Linux/Unix platform, please use the
buildme.sh
script located here:
http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/sli...k/vendor/CPAN/
You should never need to do this if you're on Windows or Mac OSX. If
the installers
don't work for you, ask for help and/or report a bug.
If 7.5 is outdated by the time you read this, Replace "7.5" with the
major version
of Squeezebox Server you are running.
*******
Exiting..
-------------------------------
And I looked at that build script, and tried to make squeezeboxserver
from source. The install.txt file seems to have no bearing on reality.
And the build script also does not work and references non-existent
things. I used to build it from source many years ago. As I recall,
the perl program downloaded all the necessary files. The buildme.sh
does not. I tried to download all the modules from CPAN, but got stuck
when it wanted to install mysql. I already have it installed, and do
not want 2 versions bouncing around. So I am very stuck. The script
also references very old versions of the modules.
Clearly the slimserver perl program needs modification to work on
OpenSUSE 11.3. I am willing to test things, but need some guidance.
Thanks,
Jim

There was an update release yesterday, if that's any help.

I had actually installed 7.5.1. And I just tried the beta of 7.5.2. It
does not work either.

If it is complaining that some PERL modules are not on the system,
either install the relevant PERL module rpms from Yast, or if they
are not available, install them using CPAN.

Slim said they do not support the latest version of Perl. Do the CPAN
modules have to match the perl version? How does one use CPAN? I would
hope that things are not so sensitive to version numbers...
Thanks,
Jim

All depends on what they mean by "latest" and "version" and "support".

Which PERL version?
> How does one use CPAN?
Very easily.
As root enter the command cpan. If it is not found then you will
have to install the cpan package.
The first thing to do is to upgrade
cpan> upgrade
then
cpan> install "module_name"
When running cpan for the first time, it will ask for quite a lot
of configuration information, but most of this can be set to
the default value suggested.
It is best to install "custom" installed modules under /usr/local
so as not to contaminate the purity of the installed openSUSE package
hierarchy under /usr.

Great tips.

I just hope that this will get his Squeezebox server working again.
Incidentally, is it possible to use MediaTomb as a media server
for Squeezebox or not?
I used to be very keen on uShare as a media server, but the project
has died, and decided on MediaTomb as a replacement.
Anybody else out there using MediaTomb with a Noxon audio device perchance?

Thank for the tips. They support perl 5.08 I think. I overwrote it in
my build file.

cpan is doing lots of things. I hope it does not screw up 11.3. If I
install a new module, how do I specify that it go into /usr/local?
What I did so far is to download the latest CPAN modules into the
squeezeboxserver source directory. The build script was happy until I
got to mysql. It wants an old mysql tar file. But I am worried that
two versions of mysql will screw things up on my system.

> cpan is doing lots of things.
Yes, when you first start it up, it get down to business and does
lots of things, almost all of which will be put under /root/.cpan
assuming you are running as root.
> I hope it does not screw up 11.3.
Why should it, it it is kept separate from /usr ?
> If I install a new module, how do I specify that it go into /usr/local?
When you fired up CPAN for the first time, it asked you where you
wanted things to be installed, and /usr/local is the default, which
I presume you accepted.
Incidentally for those who are not familiar, CPAN is the repository
of PERL modules
Comprehensive Perl Archive Network <http://www.cpan.ORG/>
I wonder if the were inspired to chose the CPAN name from CTAN (the TeX
equivalent).
So to make life easier for everybody, CPAN developed the CPAN interface
which downloads the tar.gz archives, unpacks them, builds the module,
installs the module, and most importantly tests it as well.
If you want further information try
cpan> help
if you have not already done so.
> What I did so far is to download the latest CPAN modules into the

If they were located under /usr/local, they would be available for
everybody, and should have been picked up by the squeezebox building
procedure.

But what does it want to do with it?

Do you mean two mysql daemons? Are you running one anyways for other
things?
