Perl missing for gift installation
I tried to install the unslung program gift. With no success. "perl" is announced as missing:
Installing gift (0.11.8.1-2) to root...
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/un...1-2_mipsel.ipk
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 1.
Collected errors:
ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for gift:
perl
Does someone know how to deal with this problem?
Gift installation OK, but gift-setup does not work

Thank you. Installation is now OK.
But at starting of gift, it asks on execution of gift-setup script which does not work:
Code:
$ microperl gift-setup
Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.9 .) at
gift-setup line 22.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at gift-setup line 22.
Has somebody already installed gift completly with success ? I searched the forum but found no answer (some threads mention the problem however).
Installation and setup of gift are OK now

I tried to configure manually und succeeded. Gift is working well now. Thank you to you and Jean-Fabrice.
Remark: ipkg is not installing all gift directories on /opt. So it is necessary to change the placement of some files. I will try to describe the needed changes in a small how-to as quickly as possible in order to help other potential users.
