[Koha] Koha 3 on Shared Server

[Dwayne Collins]

Thanks MJ,

I've managed to get the perl dependencies installed as well as Koha 
downloaded and compiled, however it is failing the make test because C4 
can't find the other perl modules. Here's a sample from the error 
messages I'm getting:

#   Failed test 'use C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig;'
#   at t/Barcodes_PrinterConfig.t line 12.
#     Tried to use 'C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig'.
#     Error:  Can't locate PDF/API2.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

/home/prcsaca/koha/koha-3.00.00/blib/PERL_MODULE_DIR/C4/Barcodes/PrinterConfig.pm 
line 21.

I think this has something to do with the way I had to install the perl 
modules with my webhosting company (Bluehost) -- I had to use their 
cPanel to install the modules, which tells me:

You will need to add |/home/prcsaca/perl| to the include path.
You can do this by adding the following code to your script: ||

BEGIN {
    my $homedir = ( getpwuid($>) )[7];
    my @user_include;
    foreach my $path (@INC) {
        if ( -d $homedir . '/perl' . $path ) {
            push @user_include, $homedir . '/perl' . $path;
        }
    }
    unshift @INC, @user_include;
}

Now I guess my question is whether anyone knows of a fast way of dealing 
with this without having to manually insert that code into every perl 
script/module that is packaged with Koha. Or am I completely off base in 
thinking that this is the problem... This is starting to get into areas 
that I'm not to familiar with...

Thanks,

Dwayne Collins
