[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Installing CPAN Error

[Rebecca Larocque]

Hello all - long time lurker, first time poster.
 
Right now, I'm setting up a test server for Evergreen on a spare
computer running Ubuntu 8.04 ("Hardy Heron").  I'll spare you the
details of how it took a total of five hours to set up the user
"opensrf", suffice to say I finally managed it this afternoon.
Everything was going well until I got to the step where you install the
software prerequisites (step #3); I entered "make -f
src/extras/Makefile.install ubutu-hardy"; it ran through the
installation until it got to this point:
 
Please enter your CPAN site: [] 
CPAN.pm needs at least one URL where it can fetch CPAN files from.
 
The default site wasn't working, so I found an alternate mirror site and
entered that URL.  This is what happened next:
 
commit: wrote /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm
Fetching with LWP:
  ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[500] message[LWP::Protocol::MyFTP: connect:
Connection refused]
Fetching with Net::FTP:
  ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
 
[Snip]
 
Could not fetch authors/id/T/TM/TMTM/Class-DBI-0.96.tar.gz
Giving up on
'/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/T/TM/TMTM/Class-DBI-0.96.tar.gz'
 
make: *** [install_cpan_force] Error 2
 
I tried running "make" again, but it didn't allow me to try another
mirror site.  Is it just a matter of throwing mirror FTP sites at it
until something works, or is it something less obvious?
 
Thanks,
Rebecca
