[smokeping-users] configure fails to find perl modules, Mac 10.4.6

[Gregory Sloop]

The error is that none of those Grammar.pm files are in the path for perl
to find.

But I know absolutely nothing about getting SP running under OSX.

It appears as though the perl module config::grammar isn't installed
and SP needs it.

Here's what I find with a quick Google search on installing modules
under OSX.
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=640489

Start there.

Once you get dependencies sorted out, then smokeping should install
fine.

LN> Hello,

LN> How can I get configure to complete when it is failing to find perl
LN> modules that exist on my system?   I imagine that there is a simple
LN> solution but I'm afraid to start hacking files willy-nilly because my
LN> knowledge of this stuff is actually quite limited.

LN> When I run  ./configure --prefix=/opt/smokeping  I get the failure
LN> "Can't locate Config/Grammar.pm in @INC".  Details below.  Grammar.pm
LN> exists in several places on my system.

LN> I am running mac os x 10.4.6.  I have made sure I have a recent copy
LN> of perl by running curl -L http://xrl.us/installperlosx | bash as
LN> recommended on the perl monks site.

LN> I have the Grammar.pm on my system.  (results of find / -name
Grammar.pm 2>>/dev/null are below the configure fail messages

LN> NB - I am also having trouble building mod_fastcgi.so.  I'm including
LN> this information in case it is relevant to the failure of the
LN> configure script.

LN> thank you very much
LN> Layla Nahar
