No idea what's causing this; it installs just fine. The console output is competely screwed though.
The problem is with the MANIFEST shipped with it (it should be plain text - its not). I'd file an upstream bug, but it looks like the version the author released on cpan is older than the one released on sourceforge - and that hasn't been updated in 4 years. We'll see what comes of it, but there's really nothing we can do for this (other than just recreating the MANIFEST and redisting it, but that seems kinda silly).
How about suggesting upstream to push current version into CPAN?
I'll attempt to contact the author - but the version on sourceforge (which is the 'latest') hasn't been touched since November of 2001 - don't hold your breath :)
(In reply to comment #4) > I'll attempt to contact the author - but the version on sourceforge (which is the 'latest') hasn't been touched since November of 2001 - don't hold your breath :) And still no response from upstream. Unless there are objects, I'd like to add a note to the ChangeLog about this bug and close this out. Despite a screwey MANIFEST, the module still installs fine, and appears to be in use (otherwise folks wouldn't have noticed it :)
How about http://search.cpan.org/src/MARKUSB/PDF-Create-0.08/CHANGES ?
Created attachment 143965 [details] PDF-Create-0.8 ebuild Updated ebuild. Builds and tests ok.
Works for me on ~x86 as well, thanks.
Please stabilize =dev-perl/PDF-Create-1.04
