Aug 19 05:19:31 <azlon> when i try to run "cpan install Bundle::CPAN" i eventaully get the error "Couldn't untar /opt/.cpan/sources/authors/id/A/AN/ANDYA/Test-Harness-3.23.tar"
Aug 19 05:25:27 <ka6sox> azlon, not enough information...what version of OS, how much space etc.
Aug 19 05:25:36 <ka6sox> what device?
Aug 19 05:25:43 <azlon> ok, hold on
Aug 19 05:26:31 <azlon> what command will display my current linux version?
Aug 19 05:27:33 <azlon> Linux DD-WRT 2.6.24.111 #5536 Sun May 8 02:44:23 CEST 2011 mips unknown
Aug 19 05:27:42 <azlon> on Asus RT-N16
Aug 19 05:28:29 <azlon> from fdisk -l: /dev/sda1               1         131     1052226   83  Linux
Aug 19 05:31:50 <azlon> ka6sox: should i paste more? this is all i could think of...
Aug 19 05:33:00 <azlon> i guess my df might help:  1011.4M    510.9M    449.2M  53% /opt
Aug 19 05:46:55 <ka6sox> azlon, so you have enough space..thats good.
Aug 19 05:47:57 <ka6sox> tar -xvf foo
Aug 19 05:47:57 <azlon> when i try to untar manually it works
Aug 19 05:48:06 <ka6sox> oh...
Aug 19 05:48:14 <ka6sox> then the cpan stuff seems broken.
Aug 19 05:48:48 <azlon> and i thought i might be a problem with the default config tar of /opt/bin/tar so i changed it to just /bin/tar
Aug 19 05:48:53 <azlon> that gave me the same problem
Aug 19 05:49:19 <ka6sox> did you check the path to the tarfile?
Aug 19 05:49:33 <azlon> yeah, when i untarred it manually
Aug 19 05:49:43 <azlon> i just copied the command from the cpan output
Aug 19 05:50:06 <ka6sox> then you may have a permissions issue with the cpan running as a user that isn't priveleged enough.
Aug 19 05:50:28 <azlon> hrmm
Aug 19 05:50:50 <ka6sox> like www-data or something like that.
Aug 19 05:51:43 <azlon> trying to find the command to see what user a program is running as
Aug 19 05:52:29 <ka6sox> ya, I would find that out.
Aug 19 05:53:22 <azlon> ka6sox:  5714 root      1216 S    grep cpan
Aug 19 05:53:30 <azlon> looks like cpan is running as root
Aug 19 05:53:50 <azlon>  5718 root      1216 S    grep tar
Aug 19 05:53:52 <azlon> same with tar
Aug 19 05:54:00 <ka6sox> well...then I"m somewhat stumped unless it is trying to write to a RO space or the path is wrong.
Aug 19 05:54:26 <azlon> where does it try to extract?
Aug 19 05:54:30 <azlon> is there a temp folder it uses?
Aug 19 05:54:40 <ka6sox> not really used much cpan.
Aug 19 05:54:44 <ka6sox> so I don't know.
Aug 19 05:54:57 <ka6sox> more of a python guy.
Aug 19 05:55:00 <azlon> ok, is there a nslu2 forum?
Aug 19 05:55:18 <ka6sox> mailing list @ yahoo groups.
Aug 19 05:55:37 <ka6sox> wiki @ www.nslu2-linux.org
Aug 19 05:56:47 <ka6sox> I must sleep now...
Aug 19 05:56:52 <azlon> ok
Aug 19 05:56:54 <azlon> thanks for your help
Aug 19 05:56:57 <ka6sox> sorry I could not fix this...
Aug 19 05:57:03 <ka6sox> google is your friend too :D
Aug 19 05:57:03 <azlon> one last thing
Aug 19 05:57:05 <ka6sox> yes
Aug 19 05:57:12 <azlon> is nslu2 the same as optware?
Aug 19 05:57:39 <ka6sox> optware and nslu2-linux are partner projects.
