[nslu2-linux] Re: Can't install CPAN modules due to tar error

Fajar -

Thanks for the reply.

I changed the CPAN path from /opt/bin/tar to /bin/tar because /opt/bin/tar is a symlink to /bin/tar (I think).

Either way it fails with the same error.

Also, to change the tar path in CPAN you can do the following:

root@DD-WRT:~# cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7602)
ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')

cpan> o conf tar
tar /bin/tar

cpan> o conf tar /opt/bin/tar
tar /opt/bin/tar

cpan> o conf commit
commit: wrote /opt/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN/

Config.pm
