Hi, after installing 1.20.1 I still have the problem on RH9:

Wasn't this solved in 1.20.1 or do I need to do something ?

Best regards,

I've managed to find a solution.

I put "use bytes;" in every .pl script and now the scripts are working OK. Seems this is a RH9 problem with perl. Perhaps some system export setting might do a trick too. Hope this helps someone.

DN

Interesting solution. I know perl (I think in RH9) had problems with thinking everything was UTF so if you edited /etc/sysconfig/i18n and removed any references to UTF it worked ok.

So in my copy I changed
to and
to You could try that and see if it helps.

Hi Phil,
I missed your discussion with 'loop' - my fault.

1. The new /etc/sysconfig/i18n looks like:

LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US:en:ru_RUuk_UA:uk"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
got :
[root@ur5wa bin]# ./zmpkg.pl
Bareword "ZM_PATH_LOGS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at ./zmpkg.pl line 76.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at ./zmpkg.pl line 77.

switching between "en_GB" and "en_US" doesn't change anything

2.Tried changing 'use strict' to 'use bytes' in all .pl scripts as proposed by 'loop'
got:
[root@ur5wa scripts]# ./zm start
Starting ZoneMinder: Bareword found in conditional at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 261.

It seems I'm still missing something.

In fact I needed to install some of the following CPAN moduled to make "dxspider" program work (http://www.dxcluster.org )

TimeDate-2.27.tar.gz
Net-Telnet-3.03.tar.gz
Curses-1.08a.tar.gz
Time-HiRes-01.20.tar.gz
Digest-SHA1-2.01.tar.gz

Still need someone's help.

I think you possibly have not rerun zmconfig.pl to export your config to the database. Check the README and make sure you didn't miss out any steps.

Phil

Thanks Phil.
Will check this and let folks kmow.

Hi Phil,
After reconfiguring the system works.
Get the 20 fps picture from the AverTV tuner.
Thanks very much for help.
