Did you install the perl modules with yum? What does
rpm -ql perl-Compress-Zlib
say?
Well, at the moment I have the fc9 one installed as part of trying to fix this:
% rpm -q perl-Compress-Zlib
perl-Compress-Zlib-2.005-3.fc9
% rpm -ql perl-Compress-Zlib
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Compress
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/auto/Compress
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/auto/Compress/Zlib
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix
/usr/share/doc/perl-Compress-Zlib-2.005
/usr/share/doc/perl-Compress-Zlib-2.005/Changes
/usr/share/doc/perl-Compress-Zlib-2.005/README
/usr/share/man/man3/Compress::Zlib.3pm.gz
I probably just installed that one by downloading the .rpm file and
installing it with rpm. That version didn't help, though. Same
results with the fc8 one, which I'm sure I either originally installed
with F8 or updated at some point with yum.
Something seems to be missing. What is on line 9 of
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm where it says it is
failing? If it is a 'use' something, try to track it down. Normally,
installing with yum should take care of this for you.
