[mapserver-users] mapscript/perl install.

[Pushkar Pradhan]

Hi all,
I am trying to install mapscript/perl and php both. Since I am not the
root user I face many difficulties in install. Right now for the perl
install. I am able to make (perl Makefile.PL, make). However I am unable
to install it:
Banshee[77] pushkar$ make install
Warning: You do not have permissions to install into
/usr/local/gnu/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris at
/usr/local/gnu/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 62.
mkdir
/usr/local/gnu/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/auto/mapscript:
Permission denied at /usr/local/gnu/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ExtUtils/Install.pm
line 112
*** Error code 255
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `pure_site_install'
In Makefile which is generated from Makefile.PL there is a section:
INSTALLPRIVLIB = $(PREFIX)/lib/perl5/5.6.0
INSTALLARCHLIB = $(PREFIX)/lib/perl5/5.6.0/sun4-solaris
INSTALLSITELIB = $(PREFIX)/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0
INSTALLSITEARCH = $(PREFIX)/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris
where all the dirs. for install are specified, however this file should
not be edited rather Makefile.PL must be edited but this file doesn't
contain any code on this.
Has anyone worked around this?
