If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
Problems installing 'libapreq2-2.04_03-dev
On June 21st, 2005 RH Sekaly (not verified) says:
I am trying to install & configure using Mandrake Linux 10.1
I have installed the following apps:
Apache 2.0.50 (Mandrake Linux/7.2.101mdk)
mod_perl 1.99_16
Perl v5.8.5
mod_ssl 2.0.50
OpenSSL 0.9.7d
PHP 4.3.8
When I run the command "perl Makefile.PL", everything works well until the end. The last few lines of the out are as follows:
Checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found

Can anyone help??

I followed the directions in the article but i get a 500 error from apache when executing the http://webserver/Club/
below is the dump from /var/log/httpd/error_log

Article improvements:
On February 26th, 2005 Steven Boger (not verified) says:
1. do:
install Bundle::Maypole
2. The article totally glosses over setting up mod_perl lib directories. It oddly states to drop the ClubDB.pm into /etc/httpd/lib/perl directory, even though it never talks about how to set it up. So, (assuming redhat, here), make sure your /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf reads something like:
PerlSetEnv Perl5LIB /etc/httpd/lib/perl
...Agree, Author has not p
On April 5th, 2005 Admir Trakic (not verified) says:
...Agree,
Author has not provided any significant information about server side settings, also I find it article "agressivly redhat friendly".
Small shell for include testing:
$ cat testinc.pl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print join "\n", @INC
If debian user try installing "libapache-mod-perl-doc" for more info about CGI/mod_perl stuff portings.
Hope it helps...

RedHat/Fedora Friendly
On April 20th, 2005 barryp says:
An editorial decision was made to target one specific distribution (see my reply to another comment at the bottom of the actual article for the reasons behind this). As I have only so much time, I went with what I knew which was Fedora/RedHat. I have installed Maypole on RedHat 9 and Fedora 3 - granted, it takes a while to get everything set-up but, once it is, it works well. The Soccer Club example system will work on Maypole if Maypole is installed correctly. If Maypole has trouble installing, it's really just a matter of keeping at it until it does. There's a load of help on the Maypole mailing-list archive.
As there appears to be no link to the actual source code, here it is (from my own web-site) which should save some people some time.
Hope this helps.
