Have any of you run anything as above ? I'm looking for something to do the
job. I know there are a number of solutions out there, but I'm looking for
recommendations of something you've actually tried, or know works well. I've
tried a thing called Bazaar, which advertises itself as the only GPL'ed web
conferencing system, though I'm not sure that's true. The install.txt file
says "Just run make in the distribution directory". Well, this starts off
updating via CPAN loads of Perl modules on the machine I tried it on (with
SuSE 66.4, so not exactly an old distribution). I called a halt when it
decided it wanted to install Perl 5.6 (I think it had actually downloaded
the source, and thankfully it needed me to answer some questions) - this
seemed like overkill to me. At one stage during the install it crashed with
an error and there actually was a syntax error in a Perl script. I fixed
that and eventually got it slightly working, but attempting to post a
message produces another error in Perl script, and unfortunately this was
not a simple syntax error. So, it seems Bazaar is a bit bizarre, so I'm
hunting something else, and would welcome suggestions.
Regards,
Niall
