checkgmail

I just tried to see whether I can get a version of checkgmail running on Slitaz. When I ran, 'perl -d checkgmail' I got the following message;

Sorry!  CheckGmail can't find the following package(s) on your system.  These packages are needed for CheckGmail to run.

Gtk2::TrayIcon  threads  LWP::UserAgent  Crypt::SSLeay 

The threads packages are special: this means you're running a version of Perl that has been built without multi-threading support.  There may be a package for your distro that provides this, or you may have to rebuild Perl.

Is there a way to get the version of perl with above modules or is it all too complicated? This is not a critical issue but if it can be done it would be great.

Thanks

Re: checkgmail

Have you tried :

#tazpkg get-install perl-gtk2 perl-lwp-useragent perl-net-ssleay

Re: checkgmail

There is also of course Perl's internal CPAN install function, which can help you download and install the libraries. You start it with perl -MCPAN -e shell

Re: checkgmail

@arsaber - Slitaz repos do not have these modules.

@Trixar_za - attempted to download and install cpan. After a very long downloads and numereous attempts at install, the process failed. Error returned was

Running make install

  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

I think I will have to leave this in the too hard basket.

@gdesilva - can you test these packages ?

Re: checkgmail

@Bellard, lot more promising but still missing 'threads' and  'Gtk2-TrayIcon' modules.

EDIT: Downloaded Gtk2-TrayIcon from CPAN and compiled but still fails to find 'threads'.

The threads packages are special: this means you're running a version of Perl that has been built without multi-threading support.  There may be a package for your distro that provides this, or you may have to rebuild Perl.

@Bellard,

Downloaded threads from CPAN and tried to compile and I get the following warning...

Files=23, Tests=1,  1 wallclock secs ( 0.14 usr  0.11 sys +  0.30 cusr  0.13 csys =  0.68 CPU)

Result: PASS

I noticed that the receipt file for perl 5.12.3 does have the option usethreads and wondering whether there is any difference between usethreads and useithreads options???
