Re: [Ltib] Linux Mint 1.6: Can't get: rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz at ./ltib line 834

Hi Johan,

The warnings mean that ltib can't test whether or not proxies/networking is available.

I suspect from your error: "Can't get: rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz at ./ltib line 834".
you have network connectivity problem.

To check this, on the machine you're running ltib, make sure you can run:

wget -q -O - bitshrine.org/gpp/rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.md5

It should show: b92c46d5add17d6edff235d776cc1af3  rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz

If that doesn't work you don't have Internet access.  That means you may need to configure the .ltibrc if you're behind a proxy.

Ideally you should install the missing HTTP::Request::Common and LWP::UserAgent Perl modules, these should be in libwww-perl, so: sudo apt-get install libwww-perl

Regards, Stuart

Hi,

I'm trying to install ltib on Linux Mint 1.6,  but no succes: the error is "Can't get: rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz at ./ltib line 834".

This is the first time that I am trying to use LTIB. I did the following:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/ltib co -P ltib
cd ltib
./ltib

Output is:

Don't have HTTP::Request::Common
Don't have LWP::UserAgent
Cannot test proxies, or remote file availability without both
HTTP::Request::Common and LWP::UserAgent

Installing host support packages.

This only needs to be done once per host, but may take up to
an hour to complete ...

If an error occurs, a log file with the full output may be found in:
/home/johan/ltib/host_config.log

If you would like to see the log messages as the host packages are built and
installed:

   * Open another terminal in the same directory
   * Run the command: tail -f host_config.log
   * When you're done with the tail, use CTRL+C to exit

Exiting on error or interrupt
Please see >> /home/johan/ltib/host_config.log for details

I don't understand the first four lines (about HTTP and LWP);  is this related?

Here are the contents of host_config.log:
