SID-01063: configure won't run, @INC issue

During installation I came to the point where one should call http:..../twiki/bin/configure

I got:

Perl error when reading LocalSite.cfg: Please inform the site admin. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/twiki/lib/TWiki.pm line 526. Compilation failed in require at /data/twiki/bin/view line 41. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/twiki/bin/view line 41.

I checked line 41 of view. It is use TWiki;

For more information I tried: perl -e "use TWiki"

Result:

Can't locate TWiki.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

This indicates that somehow the @INC is not populated properly. I own quite some perl literature - but none covers the inner working of @INC ...

How to correct the content of @INC? Or is the problem somewhere else?

Discussion and Answer

Did you set the twiki/bin/LocalLib.cfg as described in TWikiInstallationGuide?
