[Koha] 3.4.3 on opensuse 11.4 SMS::Send Date::ICal problem

[clint.deckard]

Hi again,

Koha 3.4.3 on Opensuse 11.4.

the suggested solutions to my recent SMS::Send and Date::ICal issue with 
the web installer did not work. I continued to receive the error.

I suspect the cause is elsewhere in my install. My lack of skill 
restricts my trouble shooting ability.
Earlier, I had trouble installing Unicode::UCD or rather finding 
UnicodeData.txt and in my efforts to rectify this I think I introduced 
more problems by (blindly) installing a newer version of perl. so I did 
a reinstall of opensuse 11.4 and started again.

This is where I think I went wrong.


Make test  failed with this error;

#   Failed test 'use C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig;'
#   at t/00-load.t line 32.
#     Tried to use 'C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig'.

Apparently there is a bug in Unicode::UCD where UnicodeData.txt is not 
installed with Unicode::UCD but with perl-doc. I installed perl-doc with 
yast but error remains.

the bug has been fixed but to get the new version in Cpan I get this


cpan[1]> install Unicode::UCD
Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata'

Running install for module 'Unicode::UCD'
The most recent version "0.30" of the module "Unicode::UCD"
is part of the perl-5.13.9 distribution. To install that, you need to run
   force install Unicode::UCD   --or--
   install J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz
Running make test
   Can't test without successful make
Running make install
   Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
  JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz                     : make NO isa perl


Last time I tried "force install Unicode::UCD" and was asked like fifty 
questions, most I didn't understand. It did seem to solve this problem 
but it appeared I ended up with two installs of perl  that then caused 
problems. I am way out of my depth.

Installing Koha on opensuse 11.4 is proving to be quite a mission.

What now?

Thank you,
Clint.
