[maker-devel] Problem with installation

[Carson Holt]

Perl is a scripting language rather than a compiled language, and one thing
that happens when you first use a new module or script Is that the
interpreter follows the dependency tree validating that everything
executes/loads correctly.  Since you installed a number of dependencies and
MAKER itself, the first time you launch MAKER Perl has to do this check on
the dependency tree.  This only happens the first time, and after that Perl
remembers it already ran the check so the dependencies and MAKER will just
start from then on.  Normally this proccess takes less than 30 seconds;
however, on some systems (especially clusters) there may a  heavy IO burden
and this process can take a while.  For example does it take a moment for
'ls -al' to return in some directories rather than returning instantaneously
like it is supposed to?  If it takes 3 seconds to return or example, then
each dependency check may take up to 3 seconds.  If you just installed a
bunch of new perl modules then there may be a hundred or more dependencies
that may have to be validated for the first time.

Hi Panos, When you go to the src directory and type "./Build status", what
message do you get? Also, what version of maker are you running?

Thanks,
Daniel
