From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Hotbar 4.1.7.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: Hello, When I use the "indexmaker" command with mrtg-2.9.17-8 (i.e. the version that comes on the RedHat 8.0 CD), I get the following error: Can't locate package $VERSION for @MRTG_lib::ISA at /usr/bin/indexmaker line 49 main::BEGIN() called at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 49 eval {...} called at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 49 Could someone help me. Thanks, Rico Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. I use the "cfgmaker" command to create the .cfg file 2. I use the "mrtg" command to generate the graphs 3. I use the "indexmaker" command to generate the .html file Additional info:
The problem appears to be due to indemaker/mrtg not being 100% compatible with perl 5.8. See: http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=slrnarjl4g.q36.mgjv%40martien.heliotrope.home which states that we should be using a newer version of mrtg. Any chance of an errata update for mrtg, RedHat?
an update to makemaker will fix this problem. in fact, a cpam2rpm --shadow of MakeMaker will probably work around it nicely. It did for me under perl 580 on rh62.
I can't reproduce this problem with FC2 mrtg-2.10.5-3, please reopen if you still can experience this error with a recent package.
