Could not install

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

We could not get this installed on our Mac OSX. Something about needing perl. Could not find how to start perl. Went to the suggested web sites to find instructions but none were available. This program is not for newbies. Also, there was no warning BEFORE downloading that you need perl.

perl - Mac-Fan No 1

is a basic component of OS X and is installed with the normal system install. You can determin the location of perl by typing "which perl" in the terminal application. It should look something like this: sberchtold@beit-g4:~ > which perl /usr/bin/perl If it is at an other place, webmin doesn't find it. You can then place a symbolic link of perl at this place. (ln -s /path-to-perl /usr/bin/perl). For that you have to be the root user. A normal system administrator won't do it here.
