Configure error

[mikesjays]

When I try to configure 1.23.2 I get this error and I'm not sure what it is looking for.

"configure: error: zm requires PHP::Serialization"

This is on a fedora 8 box.

Here the configure options I'm using
./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/wwwcgi-bin ZM_DB_HOST=loclhost ZM_DB_NAME=video ZM_DB_USER=video ZM_DB_PASS=MyPAssWordHere ZM_SSL_LIB=openssl CFLAGS="-g -O3 -march=pentium4" CXXFLAGS="-g -O3 -march=pentium4"

You need to install the Perl php serialization module from most likely the Fedora extras repo.
Otherwise you will have to use CPAN.

It is possible that that module is not available via yum in which case you will have to do it manually. Just type

Code: Select all

perl -MCPAN -eshell

If it is your first time it will ask if you want to configure it. Say 'y' if you want to answer a bunch of questions or 'n' (easier) to just accepts defaults. Then type

Code: Select all

install PHP::Serialization

and then when it has finished

Code: Select all

quit

to exit.

Hey thanks, I tried to install the RPM and it did not work. When I type the first line I get the complaint
"perl -MCPAN -eshell

Any idea what I'm missing in perl?

Ok I got it. I have to install CPAN
