PREREQUISITES
USING DEBIAN
This couldn't be easier:
apt-get install jdresolve
No need to download anything by hand, as jdresolve is now a Debian app. That'll install any dependencies too :) Debian kicks ass.
USING THE RPM PACKAGES (RedHat, Mandrake, etc)
Just use the following commands:
rpm -Uvh perl-Net-DNS-0.12-1.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh jdresolve-0.6.1-1.noarch.rpm
USING THE .TAR.GZ OR .TAR.BZ2 PACKAGES (Any distro)
To install the Net::DNS module, fetch it from a CPAN mirror (http://www.cpan.org), or use the CPAN module to do it automagically.
Using the CPAN modules is simple. You can run it from the command line or interactively:
To keep you Perl distribution updated, you should issue command like "install Bundle::CPAN" regularly. Here is some sample output:
[root@xhost /root]# perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::CPAN" CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan.if.usp.br/pub/mirror/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Scanning cache /root/.cpan/build for sizes Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan.if.usp.br/pub/mirror/CPAN/modules/03modlist.data.gz Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz MD5 is up to date. File::Spec is up to date. Compress::Zlib is up to date. Archive::Tar is up to date. Data::Dumper is up to date. Net::Telnet is up to date. Net::Cmd is up to date. Term::ReadKey is up to date. Term::ReadLine::Perl is up to date. CPAN::WAIT is up to date. CPAN is up to date.
So for jdresolve to work, you should at least issue an "install Net::DNS".
After that just go back to where you unpacked jdresolve and run './configure' and then 'make install' as root.
