[LON-CAPA-dev] LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4-1.i386.rpm built

[Scott Harrison]

Dear All:

LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4-1.i386.rpm is made.
http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4-1.i386.rpm

So, this should be better for RedHat 6.2.
For RedHat 7.2, you can either do directory fixing
with this RPM, or alternate approach... both described at:
how_to_install_on_RedHat7.2.txt (written by Matthew and I).

Added:
* HTML::Parser version 3.26
* Pod::POM

Verified:
* LON-CAPA-systemperl should NOT be overwriting any of the perl rpm
files.
* Math::FFT was already included (I just forgot I added it).

Failed:
* PerlMagick would not compile on RedHat 6.2.
  It says it requires ImageMagick version 5.4.1.
  RedHat 7.2 has ImageMagick and ImageMagick-perl
  (strangely enough for version 5.3.8... sigh)

And, historical note (how to do it in case I get
                      run over by a bus):
get HTML-Parser.tar.gz from CPAN
get Pod-POM.tar.gz from CPAN
get LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.3-1.i386.rpm from
   http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/.
get http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHARRISON/make_rpm-1.17.pl

tar xzvf HTML-Parser.tar.gz
tar xzvf Pod-POM.tar.gz
install -d targetroot/var/lib/rpm
rpm --nodeps --noscripts --root \
   /home/harris41/systemperl/targetroot -ivh \
   LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.3-1.i386.rpm
cd HTML-Parser
perl Makefile.PL; make
make PREFIX=/home/harris41/systemperl/targetroot/ install
cd ../Pod-POM
perl Makefile.PL; make
make PREFIX=/home/harris41/systemperl/targetroot/ install
cd ..
Create a file customize.xml:
BEGINFILE

Science and Mathematics Education, Michigan State University.
