Requirements missing

[ddeimeke]

I am using the distribution tarball on CentOS 7 and there are some dependencies not installed via ./configure and make.

You need the headers for OpenSSL (package openssl-devel on CentOS).

And without Module::CoreList (package perl-Module-CoreList) nothing happens at all.

Does this mean on centos7 you get a copy of perl which is missing the core modules ?

what happens when you do a

make distclean

and then ./bootstrap

[oetiker]

so I guess configure should check if it is running on centos and verify that the appropriate packages are installed ... do you have some rpm shell commands I could execute to verify this ? also how do I detect that I am on centos (sorry for the questions ... but its so much easier than venturing out into redhat land :))

The minimal installation of RedHat/CentOS 7 does not even has Perl installed (Python instead).

./bootstrap gives an error: line2: autoreconf: command not found.

So I added automake and autoconf as well.

Result: "no config.status cannot remake."

Check: rpm -qa | grep perl-Module-CoreList

Checking the OS: https://github.com/ddeimeke/littlehelpers/blob/master/bash/os.bash

Just keep asking, I try my best to answer.

BTW: If needed, I can quickly provide a minimal CentOS VM via DigitalOcean. (Just send me your SSH Public Key).

[oetiker]

ok lets do that ...

try version 0.4.1
