Question

A Windows install of 4.1.0 produces an error when visiting http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure.pl : Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:\twiki\lib C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib) at C:\twiki\lib/TWiki/Configure/LANGUAGES.pm line 25, line 1151.

failed workaround: Enable this in LocalLib.cfg @localPerlLibPath = ( 'c:/twiki/lib/CPAN/lib' ); (it was a no-op, same error)

successful workaround: copied C:\twiki\lib\CPAN\lib to C:\Perl\site\lib (this feels very wrong)

Any idea? 4.0.5 under Windows did not have this problem.

Note: with the successful workaround, I hit 2 other problems:

• FatalErrorCreatingWikiGroup
• ConfigureScreenDoesNotHaveAllOptions

This problem is gone in 4.1.1

Thanks for reporting; closing this...

I have a very similar problem with TWiki 4.0.4, and everything is working fine, so I don't really want to upgrade...

Everything was working fine when I installed a bunch of CPAN modules (Bit::Vector, HTML::CalendarMonthSimple, Carp::Clan and Date::Calc). Then I installed the CalendarPlugin, and now, when I go to twiki/bin/configure, I have the same error as Marcio: the script tells me it cannot locate some files (LocalSite.cfg and TWiki.pm among others) in the directories listed in @INC, among which the repertory in which these files actually are (I have checked, they are there):

/var/www/html/twiki-4.0.4/lib

The permissions seem correct. Any idea why can't the script see them?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I have got the same problem after entering a new password in the configure script. (Twiki 4.1.2, WinXP Pro IIS 5.1, ActivePerl 5.8.7). Chris

Copying Error.pm from C:\twiki\lib\CPAN\lib to C:\Perl\site\lib as suggested by Marcio worked ok.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem described above after upgrading from Release 4.1.1 to 4.1.2.

I'm using Twiki 6.0 with Xampp in Windows 8 & have the same issue. Any solution ?

For now, fixed by copying Error.pm to xampp/perl/site/lib
