Item230: lib/CPAN/lib missing in INC path

I am using a fresh trunk checkout.

Installation

1. Installing with pseud-install default
2. chown: All direcotries are owned by the script user.
3. adding my DocRoot path to LocalLib.cfg in bin ( renaming )
4. creating data/.htpasswd

Issue

Running bin/configrue, then lookin in the CGi-Setup tab is see this error under the "Foswiki module in @INC path"

Error: Foswiki.pm could not be loaded. The error was:

Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /var/www/www.collaborganize.de/core/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /var/www/www.collaborganize.de/core/lib/Foswiki.pm line 50.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /var/www/www.collaborganize.de/core/lib/Foswiki.pm line 50.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 85) line 3.

Suggestion

Something is broken in setlib.cfg

---

Nothing is broken in setlib.cfg; the normal installation procedure for a checkout works perfectly. I have no idea what your DocRoot path is, nor why you would add it to LocalLib.cfg. The only things in LocalLib.cfg should be:

$ENV{TWIKI_ASSERTS} = 1;
$twikiLibPath = "/home/foswiki/trunk/core/lib";

I'm afraid I'd have to agree it might not be setlib.cfg, but there is something broken.

If I read setlib.cfg correctly, if his $twikiLibPath/lib/CPAN/lib exists, it should add a few things in @INC. From what I could test, it does add them (added some debugging at the end of setlib.cfg), but I never could see them being added through the @INC which is displayed on configure.

So there is something fishy in the Kingdom of Danemark. But I'm not sure setlib.cfg is to blame.

Problem seems to be fixed for me with changeset: http://trac.foswiki.org/changeset/887

Can i close the bug or does someone still have problems? EugenMayer 23 Von 18:22

Normal practice is to say "Closing this as fixed. Anyone who still has problems please re-open it". That way we avoid having too many half-open bugs in the DB.

Additional note: This seems to be same bug as TWikibug:Item6154 so we have fixed this. Great
