Re: [MacPerl-Modules] Mac::Glue 19990522 Available

Chris,

I ran into installation problems with the glue.  I think I'm
in over my head, so I'll have to give you the play-by-play
rather than a succinct summary.

This part appears to have worked fine.

This is where things went wrong.  When I ran scriptadds, the
app appeared to launch and appeared to do nothing.  But when
I then tried to launch dialect I got an error:

    The application program "dialect" could not be opened,
    because an error of type -28,882 occured.

Similar error for any other application.
I had to restart my computer to continue.


So I opened "scriptadds" in MacPerl and checked the syntax
finding several errors.  After some work I was able to get
a clean syntax check, but still can't get it to run.

I downloaded and installed stuff (with help from 'installme'):
  Mac::AppleEvents::Simple.pm  (version 6.0 -- I had an older one)
  MLDBM.pm
  Data::Dumper.pm  (MLDBM needs it)
  Storable.pm

I also created several folders by hand:
  :site_perl:Glue:
  :site_perl:Glue:glues:
  :site_perl:Glue:glues:dialects:
  :site_perl:Glue:glues:additions:


scriptadds now passes the syntax checks okay, but when I try to
run it from within MacPerl I get the following errors:

# MLDBM error: Please make sure MLDBM/Serializer/Storable.pm is a properly
installed package.
	Perl says: "# Can't load 'xydo:Applications:MacPerl

In case it helps, here's the contents of :site_perl:auto:Storable:
   autosplit.ix
   freeze.al
   nfreeze.al
   nstore.al
   nstore_fd.al
   retrieve.al
   retrieve_fd.al
   store.al
   store_fd.al
   thaw.al
   _freeze.al
   _store.al
   _store_fd.al


And just for good measure, here's some info about my system:
   PowerMac 9600/350 128M ram
   MacOS 8.0
   MacPerl 5.2.0r4


I'm not sure what else to do.  Is it time for a complete
re-install of MacPerl?
