Cannot install some cpan modules required for Vicidial email

[bronson]

Hello,

I am following the Vicidial Email User Manual doc found here http://vicidial.org/docs/Email_user_manual.txt

The first step is to install some perl modules for email to function:

INSTALL:

Perl CPAN modules required for email to function:
cpan
install LWP::UserAgent
install HTML::Entities
install HTML::Strip
install HTML::FormatText
install HTML::TreeBuilder
install Switch
install Time::Local
install MIME::Decoder
install Mail::POP3Client
install Mail::IMAPClient
install Mail::Message
install Mail::Box
install IO::Socket::SSL
install MIME::Base64
quit

I've been able to install most of the modules with no issues but some of the modules throw up an error. For example:

This module

Code: Select all

install IO::Socket::SSL

returns an error:

Code: Select all

cpan[3]> install IO::Socket::SSL
Running install for module 'IO::Socket::SSL'

Scanning cache /root/.cpan/build for sizes
............................................................................DONE
Configuring S/SU/SULLR/IO-Socket-SSL-2.077.tar.gz with Makefile.PL
Should I do external tests?
These test will detect if there are network problems and fail soft,
so please disable them only if you definitely don't want to have any
network traffic to external sites.  [Y/n] y

Also, the following additional modules cannot be installed and are giving similar "No such file or directory" errors:

Code: Select all

install HTML::FormatText

Code: Select all

install MIME::Decoder

Code: Select all

install MIME::Base64

How can I install these Perl modules?

If you are using VICIbox, and VICIbox does not install things like 'make' and 'gcc', you can't build most perl modules through cpan. But, the 'yast' application should allow you to install the needed modules(if they aren't installed already). Just enter 'yast' on the Linux command-line, then go to Software -> Software Management -> Search Phrase, then enter in the perl module name(i.e. "FormatText"), then in the results section you'll highlight the module and press <space>. Then press F10 to accept and confirm the module to be installed, then F10 again to finish. After that you can do it again for any remaining modules that are needed.

Thanks, Matt! I was able to install the remaining perl modules via yast.
