This is the Perl 5 MegaHAL distribution. It requires a previous installation of MegaHAL. It was created using MegaHAL version 8 release 6, but may work with earlier versions of MegaHAL. The latest version of MegaHAL can be obtained from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/megahal/ This package required MegaHAL to be compiled as a shared library, which is not done in the default MegaHAL installation. MegaHAL can be compiled as a shared library by running the following command: gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libmegahal.so -o libmegahal.so megahal.c As root, you can then copy the shared libary that was produced in the previous step into a library directory as follows: cp libmegahal.so /usr/local/lib chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/libmegahal.so Note that you may have to run ldconfig as root after copying the shared library into /usr/local/lib. After installing the shared library, the Perl package can be compiled and installed with the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Please report any bugs or send any suggestions in the Perl MegaHAL package to Cory Spencer . MegaHAL was originally written by and is copyright Jason Hutchens.
