Documentation review

Going through all of the required setup associated with

postgresql 8.1 (database) postgresql-devel 8.1.8 postgresql-server 8.1.8 darcs 2.2.1 (source control) - 2.1.2 (from binary) vim-enhanced 2:7.0.109-6.el5 (text editor) apache 2.2.3 (web server) perl 5.8.8 modperl 2.0.4 openssl-devel screen ntpd

Core+ Catalyst setup

Completed via CPAN.

Looking for a trivial way to get a sample application working.

http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk/examples/

Additional tools were

perl -MCPANPLUS -e 'install Catalyst::Devel'

darcs setup

Pulled an installer externally.

Tried to pull from from a build on darcs.net but it was a 1.x binary. Needed to uninstall

checking for ghc… ghc dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi-2.1.dylib Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/ghc-6.10.1/ghc

This doesn't seem to be a mature / maintained system.

The 10.6 binary on the site doesn't work with 10.5.

No GUI exists for the system.

Had to work around the issue by getting a copy of darcs via USB.

Verified:

jwalsh@JWALSHMAC:~ 19% darcs –version 2.1.2 (release)

Postgres

Basecamp
