+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
+
+> It's interesting that you say you have no ./IkiWiki.pm file, since one is
+> included in the tarball. What happened to it, I wonder?
+
+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.
+
+> Yes, that bug is already fixed in subversion for the next release

+
+However I'm still getting the following error in 'make test':-
+
+ t/pagename.................ok
+ t/pagespec_match...........ok 1/52Modification of a read-only value attempted at /home/chris/webdev/ikiwiki/blib/lib/IkiWiki.pm line 1023.

+
+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

+
+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.
