Mead _installs_ fine on a RedHat 9 system with the required perl modules
already loaded. _Running_ it is another problem.
It seems there are some problems with UTF-8 encoding. Here is the perl
version on RH9.
$ perl --version
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
...
running the following command
$ mead.pl data/GA3
gives the following kinds of errors:
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xa1, with no
preceding start byte) in require at
/usr/local/mead/bin/../lib//Essence/Text.pm line 21.
I retyped this line in Essence/Text.pm:
my @words = split
(/\s|\,|¡@|¡]|¡\^|¡A|¡B|¡C|¡u|¡m|¡n|¡F|¡þ|¡v|¡G|¡H|¡S|¡T|¡I|\?|\!|¡§|¡¨|¡y|¡z/,$text);
and got rid of that error. (I hope that you see this the same way I do.
The character <upside down exclamation point> follows every vertical
bar except the first one. The 13th character is a thorn and the fourth
from last is one of those that looks like a spiral galaxy.)
I got the same kinds of errors for MEAD/SimRoutines.pm and the fix was
the same.
____________________
Also, maybe this is not important, but write-idf.pl wrote an idf file
called "enidf" and Essence/IDF.pm expected to read a file called
"enidf.dir", so I had to manually rename that file.
