Description Simon Putt 2013-02-14 10:15:51 CET

I decided to try out irssi for my irc client as i used to use it on another distro, and the mageia cauldron version is unable to load scripts

i have installed irssi and irssi-perl

when i enter /script load script.pl

it says unknown command /script

scripts also do not run from ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun

many thanks for your help

and after a /load perl ?

Source RPM: (none) => irssi

Comment 2 Simon Putt 2013-02-14 13:37:47 CET

load perl fixed it, how do i do this by default?

Comment 3 Simon Putt 2013-02-14 13:40:29 CET

hmm from what i read at the irssi site, it should be auto loaded. dunno why it is not

Comment 4 Manuel Hiebel 2013-02-14 13:43:35 CET

you can add 'load perl' in .irssi/startup for yourself, but this should more be set somewhere else with pkg

If it is, it is a loong time since it worked that way. I just tested irssi and irssi-perl on my old MDV 2010.2 system, the perl module isn't auto-loaded there either.

However it does auto-load on Debian, and I see that's because Debian compile with perl as a static module, where as Mandriva and Mageia build it as a dynamic module. If we did not, it would not be possible to run irssi without perl support.

Closing as invalid.
