Longview with Perl 5.20

Hello,

I am trying to install the longview client on my Linode with CentOS 6.5 and Perl v5.20.0 built for x86_64-linux. I am getting the following error in tail /var/log/linode/longview.log

08/15 17:12:23 INFO Longview[4909] - Starting Longview Agent version 1.1.4

Compilation failed in require at /opt/linode/longview/Linode/../Linode/Longview/DataGetter.pm line 62.

Any ideas?

TIA

You're missing the perl header files that allow perl modules to make system calls directly. Generally these are included in your distro's packages, but I'm guessing you built perl from source, so that step probably wasn't done. You can run '/usr/local/bin/h2ph -a' as root to generate the needed perl header files so you can start Longview.

Thank you!

When I run '/usr/local/bin/h2ph -a'

I get this:

require '_h2ph_pre.ph';

no warnings qw(redefine misc);
