I am trying to install Ikiwiki version 2.1 from the source tarball.
It has all gone fairly smoothly until I try and run 'make'.
I.e. I have downloaded and unpacked ikiwiki_2.1.tar.gz and have run
perl Makefile.PL
... which has run OK.
However when I then run 'make' I get:-
LANG=C perl -I. -T ikiwiki.out doc html --templatedir=templates \
--underlaydir=basewiki --nousedirs\
--wikiname="ikiwiki" --verbose \
--exclude=/discussion --no-discussion --userdir=users \
--plugin=goodstuff \
--plugin=haiku --plugin=polygen --plugin=fortune
Failed to load plugin IkiWiki::Plugin::mdwn: IkiWiki version 2 required--this is only version 1.01 at IkiWiki/Plugin/mdwn.pm line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at IkiWiki/Plugin/mdwn.pm line 7.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 4) line 2.
make: *** [extra_build] Error 1
How do I fix this? There may be a bit of old ikiwiki left behind because
I did once have an older version installed but I thought I had removed all
traces of it.

Well I have searched around and there really is nothing left that I can see.
I have removed *everything* found by 'find' and 'locate' that contains 'ikiwiki' except the tar file
and started from the beginning again and I see exactly the same error.
Is it that I maybe have a too old version of some of the Perl dependencies? The only mdwn.pm files
that I have are the two I have just extracted from the new tar file. There is *no* ./IkiWiki.pm file

so what/where is it loading to satisfy the ....... aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
I wasn't noticing the case of the filename, I'd missed the upper case W and guess what 'find' shows me:-
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IkiWiki.pm
Removing the above file has fixed my basic problem, now I'm getting lots of (non-fatal) errors
about "Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm", presumably that's a missing Perl module, I can probably
sort that out.
## Errors when running 'make test'
OK, I've now got it to compile and install and presumably it's basically working. However there
are a few errors when I run 'make test'. Several errors have disappeared by installing more Perl
stuff (specifically XML::SAX)
> XML::SAX is a requirement of XML::Simple, which is a documented build
> requirement. (Only really needed if you'll be using subversion actually).
and one error disappeared when I did a 'make install', i.e. the 'make
test' has a test which requires IkiWiki to be installed first.

However I'm still getting the following error in 'make test':-
t/pagename.................ok

home$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux
## Installation in a non-root enviroment
I had a pretty hellacious time installing Ikiwiki (largely due to problems
in Perl) and documented them in [[tips/SharedHosting]]. I'd like to get feedback on the doc and also know if I should file a few bugs to make the installation process a little friendlier to non-root folks. Thanks for the great app!
## Typing error?
[..] Mail::Sendmail, TimeDate, RPC::XML, [..]: should be DateTime? --[[vibrog]]
> No, TimeDate and DateTime are two different CPAN modules. Ikiwiki uses
> TimeDate. --[[Joey]]
ah, i still don't fully get it, though (the following is slightly shortened):
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install DateTime
DateTime is up to date.
cpan> install TimeDate
Warning: Cannot install TimeDate, don't know what it is.
Try the command
i /TimeDate/
to find objects with matching identifiers.
I'm trying to build IkiWiki on a fresh OpenSuse 10.3 box. I start out with
$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Text::Markdown URI HTML::Parser HTML::Template HTML::Scrubber'
$ git clone git://git.ikiwiki.info/ ikiwiki && cd ikiwiki
$ perl Makefile.PL && make
Are there other prerequisites?
I also installed all optional Perl modules, except TimeDate.
`make` exits with `make: *** [extra_build] Aborted`, `make test` complains `cannot stat 'ikiwiki.man'`
> TimeDate is also, confusingly, known as Date::Parse. Perhaps CPAN would
