Hard to comment on without the exact logs of "install chordpro" and "install Wx". In general, installing Wx using cpan will fail, leading to the error you get.

Please use the prebuilt kit instead.

Thank you for the quick response! Do you have the prebuilt kit in an ELF? Something Linux compatible?

sciurius commented 3 months ago

Most Linux distributions provide prebuilt packages for several of the requirements for ChordPro, most notably Wx and PDF::API2. See https://www.chordpro.org/beta/chordpro-install-on-linux/#installation-on-linux.
