Backup Central

here's a newbie question for you all, i suppose. i tried googling around,
poking through the backuppc site, and cpan and couldn't find BackupPC::Lib
as a separate package anywhere.

when i run configure.pl to install BackupPC, i get the following error:

"BackupPC needs the package BackupPC::Lib. Please install BackupPC::Lib
before installing BackupPC."

any thoughts? i suppose i am probably missing something very fundamental
but this is throwing me for a loop.

thanks,
matt

Matt,

A little more info would be helpful. What distro are you using, what
version of BackupPC, what version of Perl?

sure, no problem and my apologies for not including this on my own:

i've got a box running debian 3.0r2 that i inherited, and on it i'm
running perl 5.6.1. i'm attempting to install BackupPC 2.0.2 and i've
successfully grabbed, configured and installed the 3 packages that are
"optional" but highly recommended: Compress::Zlib, Archive::Zip, and
File::RsyncP.

BackupPC::Lib isn't a separate module; it is included in the
distribution.

Perhaps you are running configure.pl without first cd'ing to
the directory in which you unpacked the BackupPC tarball?

Eg, this won't work:

tar zxvf BackupPC-2.0.2.tar.gz
BackupPC-2.0.2/configure.pl

but this will:

tar zxvf BackupPC-2.0.2.tar.gz
cd BackupPC-2.0.2
./configure.pl

and you know what? that's exactly it. and it is even in the instructions,
i just sort of glazed over that.

Well. before you do that, I suggest you use backported packages from
debian testing or unstable for use on your stable machine. That way, you
keep debian's packaging system working for you. That's what I do and it
works just fine.
Backporting the required packages is very easy, hardly any dependencies.
Maybe they are already available on www.backports.org or
www.apt-get.org.
