Description Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2011-07-19 16:34:57 CEST

Write a minimal Perl plugin for Pidgin, and put it in ~/.purple/plugins/. You will get the following error when starting pidgin:

Can't locate auto/Purple/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/purple-2//perl /usr/lib/pidgin//perl /home/buclin/.purple/plugins/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3 /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.3/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.3/AutoLoader.pm line 173.

same issue with pidgin 2.10 ?

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2011-09-19 04:29:38 CEST

The file auto/Purple/autosplit.ix is available from the rpm package
libpurple-perl, which neither Mageia nor Mandriva have.

Fedora has it ...

Thanks.
