Hello,
I would like to install MESA (http://bsrweb.burnham.org/metadot/index.pl?id=2785;isa=Category;op=show) but am having trouble with installing the Metadot Import GIZMO and the Metadot DataManagement GIZMO. I successfully installed Metadot (MetadotWin6.4.5.3) on my computer (running Microsoft Windows XP with 2 GB of RAM), but when I save the two .pm GIZMO files to the C:\data\metadot\metadot\Gizmo directory and then double click on "service_start.bat" the webpage at http://localhost/metadot/index.pl no longer comes up, and I get an error message that reads: "Can't locate object method "new" via package "Portal" at C:/data/metadot/metadot/index.pl line 58."

I have also tried to add the GIZMO files to the directory after first using the "service_stop.bat", and after adding the files and then restarting the server, still have the same problem. I also have the same problem if I uninstall and reinstall the server with these two files in the Gizmo directory (without the two files the server and website are fully functional.)

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Ilsa
