Since you specified that you are on Ubuntu 8, I will give you the Linux commands to do this

You can use CPAN which is used to search for and install PERL modules

$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::Entities'

Answer according to your configuration to the various questions, and even if it takes a little time, everything should go smoothly

Once finished, you can test if the module is correctly installed by typing

$ perl -e 'use XML::Entities'

Same here, I started the installation of OCS / GLPI and I'm stuck on this optional Perl module.

Checking for SOAP::Lite PERL module...
Found that PERL module SOAP::Lite is available.
Checking for XML::Entities PERL module...
*** Warning: PERL module XML::Entities is not installed!
This module is only required by OCS Inventory NG SOAP Web Service.

Thank you in advance.

On the cpan website, it is possible to go get them.

I have a response:
1) If you do not have nmake ... Install Microsoft Visual C++ 9 Express (free and install the necessary compilation tools)
2) Download the source of XML::Entities (XML-Entities-0.0307.tar.gz which I found using the command: cpan XML::Entities)
Then in the extracted package, modify the Makefile.PL ...
It seems that there is an error in the characters describing the variables
${INST_LIBDIR} should for example become $(INST_LIBDIR) and do this for all the variables with this error.
3) In a DOS command window (preferably the one from Visual C++), type:
"perl Makefile.PL"
"nmake" then finally type "nmake install"

and it should work...

I had this before correction...

Stop.

And after (of course you need to regenerate the Makefile)....

Hello FrankG,

I am currently trying the following document:

Setup OCS Inventory 1.02.X - 1.3.X under Windows with Apache 2.2 and MySQL 5.1 already installed

But with the latest version of OCS on Windows Server 2008,

I have an error at this step => 5.1. Installing Communication Server PERL module

Here's what I get:

C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory NG\Apache>perl Makefile.PL Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3) Writing Makefile for Apache::Ocsinventory C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory NG\Apache>nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved. syntax error at -e line 1, near "'755') " Missing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1, at end of line Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0xff' Stop.

What do you think about this error?
I replaced the nmake.exe file with the one from the SDK
But I still have the same problem!

I am using the latest version, I saw that the curly brackets of the variables are already corrected EX: => $(INST_LIB)

Please help me, I've searched a lot, and no one has been able to help me
Thanks a lot.
