Building error of perl for Zimbra

Question

I am trying to build zimbra HELIX-710 for ubuntu server 11.04.

I need to compile perl and I get a really weird error that i dont understand. Everything goes well for the building, but at the verification stage there is an error.

Here the trace.

Verifying perl module build...
/home/public/p4/HELIX-710/ThirdParty/Perl/zmcheckbuiltmodules.pl >> ThirdParty-Perllibs.log 2>&1;
make: *** [check] Error 1

And after that if I lunch the zmcheckbuiltmodules.pl manually I dont get any errors.

loic@loicvm:/home/public/p4/HELIX-710/ThirdParty/Perl$ ./zmcheckbuiltmodules.pl
/usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Request.pm
/usr/share/perl5/LWP/UserAgent.pm

Does some one have some clue ?

Hey . Here you are : loicvm.xwaves.net/ThirdParty-Perllibs.log — user789148
that looks like the path rather than the content. cat ThirdParty-Perllibs.log — Raoul

I've browsed the log and the situation is clear: the installer is hopelessly broken. It installs Perl modules under a certain prefix /home/public/p4/HELIX-710/ThirdParty/Perl/zimbramon/, but does not actually add this path to the include path! So Perl cannot find just installed modules. This is such an utterly stupid mistake, it should never made it past QA.

Example: Sub::Uplevel is installed as /home/public/p4/HELIX-710/ThirdParty/Perl/zimbramon/lib/perl5/Sub/Uplevel.pm, then later the module Test::Exception requires it and fails because the include path only contains the system defaults /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl (smells like Debian) and the temporary CPAN build locations.

Demand a fix for this or your money back; or if that's not an option, give access to the machine to an Perl programmer who has experience with troubleshooting CPAN installations to sweep up the pieces.
