SV: SV: Perl problems on Fedora 9 SOLVED

[Jonas Lilja]

No, perhaps not, but if it's easy to do a system-check in the beginning of the install-script and if that check turns back Fedora 9 it would be nice if the script interrupt and says "Fedora 9 is not supported. Installation aborted". That would be a better solution than continuing with a lot of errors. But as you said - it must be a minor problem since Fedora 9 is at the end of life :-)

Kind regards

Jonas

Ämne: Re: SV: Perl problems on Fedora 9 SOLVED

I'll have to do a test with Fedora 9 and see how to resolve the 
problems, in case a similar solution is needed as for Fedora 10. But 
there can't be many people using Fedora 9 any more, it must be near 
end-of-life.

Is it worth my while?

Jules.

I've also updated Perl (yum update perl*) but MS install script seems to remove that Perl-installation and try to install its own Perl-modules. Finally, I tried to install MS with nodeps but it didn't work.
