problem when installing Math::BigInt::GMP ...

Dear,

Yesterday, I tried to install Net::OpenID::JanRain::Consumer. It
showed it needs Crypt::DH:

==========
---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during [A/AR/ARNESOND/Net-
OpenID-JanRain-1.1.1.tar.gz] -----
Crypt::DH
Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue
of modules we are processing right now? [yes]
==========


While installing Crypt::DH and doing "make test", it took so long time
to proceed and finally it appeared to hang at 18th test. I tried to
"install Crypt::DH" first, but same result.

==========

==========
1/21 <---- this number incresed so slowly (more than 30 munites to
reach 18/21) and it didn't go on from 18/21.

I had to push Ctrl+C and stop installing.

According to the above message, I looked at "/root/.cpan/build/Crypt-
DH-0.06/blib/lib/Crypt/DH.pm line 6" and I saw:

use Math::BigInt lib => "GMP,Pari";

Math::BigInt::Pari is installed in server, but Math::BigInt::GMP
isn't.

Then I tried to "install Math::BigInt::GMP" but I failed:

I don't know why it failed and what I can do for it...

Any advices would be appreciated.

You don't really need *both* M::BI::GMP and M::BI::Pari. Either one should
do - yet apparently *both* modules are not being found.

It could just be a bug in the test script. Take a look at the 14 tests that
failed and see if you can work out why they failed.
It looks likely that all of the failing tests fail for exactly the same
reason. Once you know why *one* of those tests failed, you'll probably know
why they *all* failed.

Which version of Math::BigInt do you have ? There's a minimum version number
required - you can find which version of Math::BigInt (or later) is needed
by looking in the M::BI::GMP Makefile.PL. Make sure that requirement is
satisified.

Re: problem when installing Math::BigInt::GMP ...

Thank you, Rob, for your kind advice.

I'm not good at Perl. I looked at bigintpm.inc but it is very
difficult for me to see other one's code, and the one is an expert as
perl module provider. :-)

You are right. There isn't M::BI::GMP nor M::BI::Pari in my server. It
might be that I was confused with Math::Pari, which is installed.

I tried to install M::BI::Pari instead GMP, but I failed again.

But an hour ago, I found someone else have already reported about this
problem in CPAN.

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=3D25328 (for Math-BigInt-
GMP, by Lawrenz Mr Hans)

That is the same error I got. I think this is the problem of
compatibility and I can't handle it. :-)

I reported the problem of Pari ( http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html=
?id=3D25409
)

Mr Hans said, in his report, that he changed back to Math::BigInt
version 1.79 and the tests were successful. I'll try 1.79 now.. but I
don't know how to downgrade the existing module using cpan. :-/ I have
to read cpan manual first.

Anyway, thanks again and I wish you have a nice day~

Sorry that I'm not good at English.
