Error installing perl module (cpan and manually)

Question

I'm trying to install the SQL::Translator module. Everything runs fine until it gets to this test:

DBD::SQLite::db do failed: not an error at t/sqlite-rename-field.t line 62.
#   Failed test '-- Convert schema '' to '':;'
#   at t/sqlite-rename-field.t line 62.
# died: Died at t/sqlite-rename-field.t line 62.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 16.
Failed 1/72 test programs. 1/1901 subtests failed.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 1

Any help is much appreciated, I was not able to find any similar questions. Thanks.

I'm seeing all tests pass. Are you using up-to-date versions of Perl, DBI, and DBD::SQLite? — rutter

Hi rutter, the server I'm working with is running Perl 5.10.1, DBI 1.609, and DBD::SQLite 1.27. I am a bit wary about updating to the latest versions since I'm not sure if it would mess with anything else on the server. — sdemurjian

It could be because of missing dependencies and/or mismatch in version of other perl modules. Try using CPANM to install your desired package. It will take care of dependencies for you.

You can also try to install libsql-translator-perl library if you are on debian based systems. I am sure there will be a compatible library on red hat based systems too.

Also if you want to install from cpan then use CPANM to install the module.

Personally i prefer to use distro libraries in place of installing modules.

In case anyone stumbles across this question, my solution was:

install perlbrew
install latest version of perl via perlbrew
download required libraries
install module

It was much easier than dealing with the older system
