I am having difficulty getting the DBD::MariaDB module to install on an instance of OSX 10.12.6. I am using homebrew and perlbrew, and other cpan modules installed without issue with cpanm.
I have used homebrew to install openssl and mysql-connector-c as the cpan Install page recommended.
Rather than trying to use cpanm for this, I am attempting to install manually so I can specify a mysql_config location. I have a heavily customized instance of MariaDB 10.2.21 installed so nothing is "default." If it's relevant, my MariaDB configuration was based off a brew install.
I am stuck at this point: Failed to create t/MariaDB.mtest: No such file or directory at /Documents/DBD-MariaDB-1.21/Makefile.PL line 415. Fails to make the file and I'm doing this with user directories with perlbrew.
Using Perl 5.26.1 on perlbrew 0.86 (latest). Not sure what to actually do here. Not sure why I'm unable to make the file in a user folder.
Did I miss a crucial step?

I've done a fresh install of OS X Yosemite and Vagrant on my Mac some days ago. The problem is, that every time when I try to update all plugins or install a vagrant plugin (vagrant-cachier), I'll get the following error:
An error occurred while installing json (1.8.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.2'` succeeds before bundling.
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/ruby extconf.rb
/opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/ruby: invalid option -H (-h will show valid options) (RuntimeError)
If I install a gem over the system's binary it works. So it seems to be a problem with the built-in vagrant binaries. I've also already installed the command line tools. My Vagrant Version is 1.7.2
I've already googled the problem for hours, but I didn't find this problem.
Did I forget anything or does anybody has a workaround for this problem?
Thanks!
Thanks for your help. I found the problem.
The problem was the path were Vagrant is installed. My SSD partition on OS X is called "Macintosh SSD" with a space in it.
I renamed it to "MacintoshSSD" and now it works fine.
The issue appears to be that the 'embedded' binary of ruby is not happy with some older code in the JSON gem. Or something... I literally know nothing about ruby other than that it is a programming language and I installed it to use compass. And now here it is again with Vagrant.
ANYWAY I moved the embedded ruby to the side, and copied OS X's built-in ruby into the vagrant embedded binaries folder.
Something like:
sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/ruby /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/ruby.2.0.0.p598
sudo cp /usr/bin/ruby /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/ruby.2.0.0.p481
sudo ln -s /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/ruby.2.0.0.p481 /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/ruby
sudo vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-fusion
Installing the 'vagrant-vmware-fusion' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
Installed the plugin 'vagrant-vmware-fusion (3.2.1)'!
Yay.
Straight from HashiCorp... here is the troubleshooting checklist:
Hey there,
I am really sorry you are having problems installing that Vagrant plugin. We are aware of these issues, but we have not been able to narrow it down to a specific cause because it only affects a small subset of machines and we have not identified a common denominator yet.
First, please do not try and install the plugin using sudo. This can tamper with the permissions of other Vagrant plugins and cause Vagrant to error.
Second, please ensure you have the XCode Command Line Tools installed. You can install them by running:
sudo xcode-select --install
and following the on-screen prompt.
After completing those steps, many users have found success by doing the following:
Completely uninstall Vagrant
Removing the /opt/vagrant and /Applications/vagrant directories.
Remove Vagrant's storage directory (~/.vagrant.d). Warning: If you
have installed other Vagrant plugins or Vagrant plugin licenses,
they will be removed!
Reinstall Vagrant from the official Vagrant installers:
https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
Install the plugin
Additionally, please ensure the following:
If there is a special character anywhere in Vagrant's path, you must
choose a different directory. This includes spaces (like in a
username or folder name) and parenthesis (like C:/Program Files
(x86)). Unfortunately there is a bug in the language in which Vagrant
is written that prohibits compiling native extensions under these
circumstances.
If you are using a Mac, please make sure you have accepted the XCode
license agreement. In some situations, native extensions will fail to
compile because XCode is prohibiting the installation due to an
unaccepted license agreement. To accept the license agreement, simply
open XCode - you will be prompted if you need to accept the
agreement.
If the problem persists after taking these steps, please provide the output of the plugin installation's debug logs.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Seth
Here is my problem. I am running OS X v10.7 (Lion) and want to set up an old Perl program I have written (was then using a Windows System with ActivePerl and then its ppm).
I read to use CPAN to install Perl modules (I am trying to install the Graph module). Whenever I tried to install it, it failed from a refused connection. Why? So I read that I should run the following to update CPAN and fix any broken links:
cpan> install Bundle:CPAN
cpan> reload cpan
cpan> index cpan
cpan> exit
However, after doing this I am stuck with this every time I try to do a CPAN install or upgrade:
New CPAN.pm version (v1.9800) available.
[Currently running version is v1.9456]
You might want to try
install CPAN
reload cpan
to both upgrade CPAN.pm and run the new version without leaving
the current session.
I was trying to use the default Perl stuff that is included in OS X rather than downloading ActivePerl. How do I fix CPAN and install the Graph Module?
PS: Running install CPAN and reload CPAN didn't do anything, but it generated the same message.
UPDATE
I was able to upgrade to v1.9800 doing a manual install (make, install) through the terminal. But I am still unable to install the Graph Module. Here is what I am getting:
http://cloud.jjnford.com/3D1C1H4217222b1p1O3a
UPDATE - PROBLEM SOLVED
I was finally able to solve the problem. I just moved the /User/jj/.cpan directory to User/jj/.cpan_bak and then reconfigured CPAN and the Graph Module installed with no fuss.
To solve this problem, do a manual upgrade of CPAN (apparently on OS X CPAN has trouble upgrading itself). You can download the source from here. After you have downloaded it uncompress it, create the make file from the Perl script, then run a make test, and finally if all goes well a make install.
$> tar -xvxf CPAN-1.9800
$> cd CPAN-1.9800
$> perl Makefile.PL
$> make
$> make test
$> make install
Now get rid of your old CPAN configuration:
$> mv ~/.cpan ~/.cpan.bak
Now when you run CPAN from the terminal you should be prompted for the configuration again. Once this is complete and CPAN has started you will notice this:
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9800)
So CPAN is now upgraded and working, and in my case I installed the Graph Module:
$cpan> install Graph
And everything works fine. I hope this helps somebody.
I have a fresh Mac OS X Lion and I updated CPAN without problems.
Installing XCode is not enough. Make, gcc, g++ are not installed by default.
To install them, one has to:
Start XCode, go to XCode->Preferences->Downloads and install component named "Command Line Tools".
I know this was solved, but do consider using "cpanminus" instead next time. It's faster and could save you a lot of hassle. You can either install App:cpanminus using cpanminus (see: App::cpanminus):
curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus
And then to install any module and its dependencies simply run:
cpanm <module>
Alternatively you could use it directly from the web:
curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo <module>
I use it on my OS X Lion, and it works perfectly :)
Please excuse me for replying to this old post.
I had the same issue as the OP. Once I corrected the command to contain two colons instead of one (i.e. - Bundle::CPAN vs Bundle:CPAN), it worked as expected.
I have been trying to install the Ruby PG gem, but kept getting the "Failed to build gem native extension." error.
After sifting through a lot of google results, I tried nearly every recommendation I came across, all without luck. However, I believe I've tracked down the source of the problem ... Homebrew.
Homebrew installed PostgreSQL 9.0.4, but only with the 32-bit libraries. As I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with XCode 3.26, I need the 64-bit libraries in order to compile everything without library mismatch errors. But I cannot seem to find out how to force Homebrew to install them, even with ARCHFLAGS and ENV set to "-arch x86_64".
Suggestions, please :)
p.s. I found out that I only had 32-bit libraries installed by running:
file /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.0.4/lib/libpq.5.3.dylib
which returned:
/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.0.4/lib/libpq.5.3.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
Update: re-installed Homebrew, which installed postgresql/9.1.1 and 64-bit shared libraries.
But another problem emerged, while installing the PG gem. For some reason it was looking for ginstall in /opt/local/bin. As I had removed MacPorts, that directory was also removed. I did find this solution:
mkdir -p /opt/local/bin/
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/install /opt/local/bin/ginstall
And now everything seems to be working ....
So it looks like my first install, using Homebrew, must have been done with regular Leopard.
Removing the Homebrew "Cell" directory and all of its contents, running the install script again, then doing "brew install" and "brew update" with all needed packages, got me the latest version of PostgreSQL, with 64-bit developer library.
And creating the above symbolic link fixed any left over errors from the MacPorts removal.
Now all is well :)
I'm pretty rusty with Perl and I don't think it's helping that I'm running it in Windows.
I'd like to install this module. I tried the instructions here to install a CPAN module, but it fails trying to install App::cpanminus (the very first step.) I tried just running cpan Config::Simple and it didn't work either. In both situations, it fails with this error message:
Unwrapping had some problem, won't try again without force
Had problems unarchiving. Please build manually
Running make test
Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, won't install
Does CPAN just not work from the version of Perl that's installed with XAMPP? If so, how do I upgrade it without breaking anything?
manually download and unpack the distro archive
change into the unpacked directory
run cpanm . or cpan .
XAMPP also ships with PPM in C:\xampp\perl\bin\ppm.bat which is often a more Windows friendly way to get modules for perl.
There's a step by step example of using ppm with XAMPP here: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=26407
Many modules are already installed in C:\xampp\perl\lib and C:\xampp\perl\site\lib
Is there a binary out there for the current mac os x, python for PyGTK? I work with multiple desktop environments (mac, windows, gnome) and really consider python's lack of cross platform GUI's a problem. Does anyone know where I can find a built version of PyGTK and GTK for Mac?
I cant clone the git repository, it keeps timing out.
brew install pygtk worked for me (requires homebrew).
Confirmed to work with OS X 10.10 too, but by default it will install it into brew's Python distribution, so if you are still using the native python, it will not find it.
I don't use macports but it seems that jhbuild works for me. Below is the steps that I've done.
download gtk-osx-build-setup.sh from: https://raw.github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/master/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh and save it to your home directory.
fire up terminal and navigate to your home directory and run the command sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
the shell script will warn you that ~/.local/bin isn't added to your environment variable to do this, edit your .profile file located at your home directory and /Users/<username>/.local/bin to your environment variable. to know more on how to edit this file check out: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2621/os_x_change_path_environment_variable/
after that, do a ~/.local/bin/jhbuild bootstrap command. it will download and install some necessary utilities.
download and install the beta version of the gtk+ osx framework at: http://ftp.imendio.com/pub/imendio/gtk-osx/Gtk-Framework-2.14-LATEST.dmg
before installing the meta-gtk-osx-python, you need to build and install some other packages that jhbuild doesn't install automatically, so what i did was i installed libpng by doing the command: ~/.local/bin/jhbuild build libpng
you also need to install libtiff so do the command: ~/.local/bin/jhbuild build libtiff
and also gtk-doc is needed so: ~/.local/bin/jhbuild build gtk-doc
and finally you can now install meta-gtk-osx-python by doing a: ~/.local/bin/jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python
Let me know if it works.
There is an installer for PyGTK 2.24 in test here, announced on the PyGTK list.
UPDATE project has moved on macpkg's sourceforge page.
I couldn't make it work with meld (segmentation fault), but sample PyGTK programs work OK.
UPDATE 2 since then a new package Py3GTK3 appeared on the same sourceforge page. Haven't tested though.
There is now a mac package on sourceforge
Download the latest package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/macpkg/files/PyGTK/ and install.
If you're just trying to use the system python, this is all you'll have to do.
If you're not, the following is how to install it with pyenv, which can be installed with Homebrew. With brew installed, you can install version pyenv and Python 2.7.8 with:
brew install pyenv && pyenv install 2.7.8
After you've done that, you'll then have copy the gtk package and its dependencies into your python installation:
cd /opt/gtk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ && \
cp * ~/.pyenv/versions/2.7.8/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
That's it. You can also similarly install the Py3GTK3 package which has packages for python 2.7 and 3.2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/macpkg/files/Py3GTK3/.
Have you tried doing it using macports? This website shows how.
