Re: Problem running ubh

Hello Doug,

Thanks for the quick response.  Here's what I've found so far:

1. There's no such perl module as "String::CRC32".  There IS 
a "String::CRC", which I installed -- but still getting the same 
errors.

2. And yes, I am a little "chmod 777 happy" as you say, only because 
nowhere in the docs does it tell you which file permissions are 
supposed to be set.  Of course the script needs at least 755, and 
I'm guessing the data directory does need 777 since files will be 
written there.

3. According to the docs, the only perl modules needed are as 
follows:

Net::NNTP  
News::Newsrc
Set::IntSpan 
MIME::Parser
MIME::Base64
IO::Stringy
The MailTools distribution

I have each and every one of the top modules, along with MIME:Tools 
installed -- and was still getting the same error.

So I located the perl-string-CRC32 RPM at 
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/ASPLinux/i386/RPMS.7.3/perl-String-CRC32-1.2-
15.i386.rpm  Once I installed it, the program does seem to run now.

However, I'm getting some weird output - telling me it couldn't 
open /root/.ubhrc   I'm guessing that it's looking in /root for the 
two config files for some reason, so I copied them over to /root and 
sure enough the program is working now.  And luckily, it's 
downloading binaries to the /data subdirectory of my ubh directory.  
I was afraid it might download a whole bunch of stray stuff to /root 
since that's where it's looking for the configs.

So now that the program IS working, is there some configuration I 
need to do in order for it NOT to look at /root for the two config 
files?  And also, what are the proper file permissions so I'm not 
so "chmod 777 happy"  ;-)

Many thanks again,

Kevin G.
