Ful output of g-cpan -v -i Aspect

[Comment 2 Mark McDonald 2006-09-16 01:49:53 UTC]

More info:

I've re-configured & updated the CPAN script itself, and used it to install the Aspect library, but the g-cpan script fails as before.

This also fails, with the same error message.

svn copy seems to be doing better - I get this far (which is expected to fail since g-cpan can't guess at what env vars you might need for a given install). If you are curious, please check out http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-perl/g-cpan/trunk/
(now available as an anon svn repo)

[Comment 6 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2007-01-03 06:28:47 UTC]

Using 0.15_rc1 (in the tree now) Aspect installs fine. Not yet documented, but you can put those env vars (if you're using 0.15_rc1) in ~/.gcpanrc for the Pg install. Marking this as fixed since original posting is now resolved.
