[publican-list] Failure of Publican Install on Os X Lion 7.2.3

[George Grenley]

So, I ran the script from Redhat's site:  https://fedorahosted.org/publican/wiki/Installing_OSX

The full text is shown at the end of this email.

It blew up  at the command (my quotes) "publican-2x grenley$ perl ./Build.PL"

The first little bit of error messages went like this:

A    publican-2x/po/publican.pot
Checked out revision 2050.

this continues for hundreds of lines....  (I can attach a file if you need it.)

What have I done wrong? It has been suggested that I need to tell the thing to use the MacPort Perl, not OS X Perl, but I have no idea how to do that. There is also talk of needing to mod some default paths.....

Cheers!

Web Page Installation Text:

• Install Xcode from Mac App Store.
		• It is about 4 GB. Be prepared to wait.
• Install Macports from  http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.html. Everything you install with it goes into /opt/local, away from your normal OS files.

• Open a terminal.

• Install dependencies for Publican which are available as ports.
sudo port install docbook-xml docbook-xsl docbook-sgml-4.2 perl5 bash-completion p5-file-pushd p5-config-simple p5-file-find-rule p5-file-slurp p5-class-trigger p5-time-hires p5-list-moreutils p5-ipc-run3 p5-class-accessor p5-test-perl-critic p5-xml-libxslt p5-locale-gettext p5-image-size p5-file-copy-recursive p5-datetime p5-archive-zip p5-timedate p5-html-format p5-dbd-sqlite p5-xml-simple p5-devel-cover p5-test-pod p5-test-pod-coverage p5-template-toolkit 

	
• Install CPAN modules for dependencies which can't be satisfied with ports. The first line forces Makefile::Parser to install even though its tests fail.
sudo cpan Locale::Maketext::Gettext Locale::PO DateTime::Format::DateParse Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate XML::TreeBuilder

• Install FOP if you want PDFs to work:
sudo port install fop
echo "FOP_OPTS='-Xms50m -Xmx700m'" > ~/.foprc

	
• Check out Publican 2.x branch:
svn co http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/publican/branches/publican-2x
cd publican-2x/

	
• In the publican-2x directory, run:
perl ./Build.PL
./Build

	
• Run the following command to install Publican and put all of its bits into /opt/local
sudo ./Build install

Create and build a book

publican create --name=testbook
cd testbook
publican build --formats=html --langs=en-US

	• Open the tmp/en-US/html/index.html in a browser to prove that it built properly.
