[albert123]

can someone please help me. i need to have Perl-Convert-UULIB 1.5 or later, i currently have like 1.0 or something. how on earth do you update it to the lates version?

 

[nic777]

ubunutu or debian? run synaptic and search for that package and click upgrade

suse linux. i tried going through YAST but that has same version as i got now. any idea how to update the "available" list in YAst maby?

 

[nic777]

uhmmm...click Update?

Otherwise download it but can't seem to find 1.5 version?
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/suse/9.3/i386/suse/i586/perl-Convert-UUlib-1.0-28.2.i586.html
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/perl(Convert::UUlib)

although I suggest using the package manager as it resolves dependicies much better. If you DO update and its still not there, make sure you have access to larger and "testing" repositories which will have more software to download, espescially newly released libs.

EDIT: I don't use and have never used Suse, so I'm going by my linux knowledge here

Sounds like a perl module? Latest one I can find is 1.06 here

 

[albert123]

double click on it! .......and then wait for all the error messages to come across

But if you have all the required dependecies it should be installed without any errors

lol. ummm.. seems you need suse linux 9.6 or later, i have 9.3.... so not just for double clicking... *sigh*

thanks for all the help though, it would've worked if it wasnt for this MINOR problem hehe

that way i once copied my config file of my antivirus program over the actual program file, sortof messed up quite a lot of things. hehe

but Webmin is nice for installing RPM's

Try CPAN,

Haven't done it in a while, but something to this effect:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell;
(answer questions)

once you are in the shell, type:

install Convert::UUlib

this will install the latest version of the module and it's dependancies. These days most package managers keep these things up to date, so the above might break your system. (Package versions will be out of sync with what the package util think is installed)

Agreed with twiga,

That's how i use to install perl mods on SuSE.
