10INSTALLATION
11
12To install this module type the following:
13
14 perl Makefile.PL
15 make
16 make test
17 make install
18
19If you encounter problems in the linking step of the build process, with an
20error message similar to: '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpspell' the
21gtkspell-2.0.pc file most likely needs to have the -lpspell changed to
22-lpspell-compat or -laspell-pspell. Thus using the pspell compatibility
23libraries of aspell.
24
25To avoid installing to a system directory, since this is a beta release,
26you can change the installation prefix at Makefile.PL time with
27
28 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/other/place
29
30This will install the module to the subdirectory lib/perl5 under the given
31prefix. If this is not already in perl's include path, you'll need to tell
32perl how to get to this library directory so you can use it; there are three
33ways:
34
35 in your environment (the easiest):
36 PERL5LIB=/some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl:$PERL5LIB
37
38 on the perl command line:
39 perl -I /some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl yourscript
40
41 in the code of your perl script:
42 use lib '/some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl';
