I gave up trying to \u201cfix\u201d ReciPants on this site, and decided to try setting it up on a server at home for use there. I\u2019ve discovered, however, that the latest version of Perl doesn\u2019t seem to like the required module Digest::SHA1, and fails to compile it every time.<\/p>\n
I need to spend some more time digging in to the error messages it throws when it fails to compile, but it appears to hinge on a missing library.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll see. I may be looking for a way to export all of those recipes to another recipe database. . .<\/p>\n
UPDATE<\/span> ONE<\/span><\/p>\n Well, um, DUH<\/span>. Did a quick surf through the results of apt-cache search sha1<\/strong> and ran across a little package called libdigest-sha1-perl<\/strong>. That installed successfully on my home system and now ReciPants works!<\/p>\n I think I\u2019m going to keep this as an in-home only database anyway, due to security concerns with the ReciPants project (which hasn\u2019t been updated since April 2004).<\/p>\n The inability to compile the module most likely indicates a lack of the correct development libraries on my systems. That will teach me to just be more lazy and rely on apt-get \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n UPDATE<\/span> TWO<\/span><\/p>\n Moved this to a fresh LAMP<\/span> build on the latest version of Debian running in-house. Installed all modules, configured, etc. Lots of love until I went to actually view a recipe \u2014 SQL<\/span> error! ARGH<\/span>.<\/p>\n Visited the Recipants site, sent an SOS<\/span> to the main contact there, and he actually answered me back. Yay! I\u2019ve provided him with log entries and details, so maybe I\u2019ll get a fix? Keep watching this space for more. . .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I gave up trying to \u201cfix\u201d ReciPants on this site, and decided to try setting it up on a server at home for use there.
