[Gmod-help] Gbrowse installation problem on Mac OS X

[Scott Cain]

Hello Tripti,

I don't know why this is the case, but you don't have the perl module
Compress::Zlib installed.  It is not explicitly installed by the net
installer, but I would have guessed that it would have been installed
as a prerequisite for one of the things that did get installed.
Anyway, try installing it manually with cpan, like this:

  sudo cpan
  cpan> install Compress::Zlib

If after doing that you can run the installer successfully, please let
me know so I can modify the net install script.

Thanks,
Scott
