zmpkg.pl script on slackware 9.1

[jackal207]

I install zoneminder 1.19.4 on my slackware 9.1, with the guide from the site, and almost everthing works, except the zoneminder script zmpkg.pl.
This is the zmpkg.log:

There is a document in the Documentation section which describes the tweaks you need to apply to get ZM running on Slackware. It's for a much older version of ZM but much of it still applies. Basically you've run into one of them which is the format of the 'su' command parameters.

replace
su apache --shell=/bin/sh --command='/usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl check'
with
su apache -c '/usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl check'

its on the zmpkg.pl file around line 142
