perl errors when running zmpkg.pl start

[codeka]

Hi all,

I'm just getting started with ZoneMinder and I've managed to get it all compiled and the website appears to be running in Apache, but I am unable to get the services running. Here's what I see:

Code: Select all

# zmpkg.pl start
Can't export symbol: \# at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/ZoneMinder.pm line 33
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/ZoneMinder.pm line 33.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 37.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 37.

It's really weird, and I'm quite sure that it must be something really basic that I'm missing. For reference, here's some details about the system I'm running:

$ uname -a
Linux ho-svr-media01 3.2.0-24-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 10:47:59 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
(Ubuntu 12.04)

Let me know if there's anything else I might have missed. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide!

It kind of looks like are you are missing a perl package, did you install this via a package manager?

Sorry for the long delay in replying, but I ended getting it working by building ZoneMinder from Subversion. I'm still not sure what was wrong above...
