Installed Squeezeboxserver .deb but it won't run

#1 Post by SBP »

Hi.
I'm trying to build a music server. I have puppy 5.25 running fine (full install)on a 500 MB flash harddisk on a Futro S400 Siemens thin client.

Next I installed the squeezeboxserver on the puppy. There is a debian install from logitech: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightl ... 13_all.deb
It installed without any problems, but when I try to start it - I get the following error:
Can't locate FindBin.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl1 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/sbin/squeezeboxserver line 114.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/squeezeboxserver line 114.

So please, can somebody figure out what to do.

Thanks


PS Line 114 and 115 in the squeezeboxserver config are
114 use FindBin qw($Bin);
115 use lib $Bin;

To follow up - as these errors seems to indicate some Perl problems, I followed some of the instructions from here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 12&t=67141.

the command:
perl -v is OK giving this response :
This is perl v5.10.1 (') build for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi ...ect

the command:
which perl is also Ok giving this response:
/usr/bin/perl1

So it seems like perl is installed OK - it somehow just sems like squeezeboxserver is unable to find it ?

OK, I have been searching both at logitechs forum and at puppy's forum - and there seems to be a problem installing and running the squeezeboxserver on puppy.
That is too bad as I really like puppy and have some sort of understanding how it works.

But anyway, I removed puppy and installed Voyage linux (a small debian based linux) http://linux.voyage.hk/ and after short time I had it running - so the problem is solved for now.

But if anybody have a suggestion on the perl problem - I would be very interested in the solution, as I find puppy more easy to work with.
