Missing Dependencies - When I run Configure

How do I find and install the missing dependancies below?

I'm installing Foswiki on Red Hat 8.0 Server.

[root@vmadwikiws501 bin]# ./configure
Content-type: text/plain

** ERROR ****
The following critical dependencies are missing from your installation:
... CGI::Session: Can't locate CGI/Session.pm in @INC
... File::Copy::Recursive: Can't locate File/Copy/Recursive.pm in @INC

Please install these modules and then ensure all dependencies are installed by e ither:
- viewing the PerlDependencyReport in your local Foswki, or
- running the CLI shell script tools/dependencies from your server's command l ine.
You can get a complete list of Perl module dependencies by viewing System.System Requirements
on your local system or at http://foswiki.org/System/SystemRequirements.

Foswiki will not operate correctly unless the required dependencies are installe d.

Your current library search path @INC contains:

/var/www/foswiki/lib
/usr/local/lib64/perl5
/usr/local/share/perl5
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib64/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
/var/www/foswiki/lib/CPAN/lib

You can adjust the search path by editing bin/LocalLib.cfg
[root@vmadwikiws501 bin]#

If you have root privileges on your server you can install those via either a Red Hat (centos) package or Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) package. Just google the dependencies listed above (i.e. CGI::Session and File::Copy::Recursive) to find the packages.

If you don't have root access to the server (such as with shared hosting), you'll need to ask their support to install them. If you go that route, make sure you find out the path to where they are installed to make sure the are in the @INC path, or if not add it to bin/LocalLib.cfg as mentioned in the note above. There are instructions in that file about adding locations to @INC path list.

I've done this and then always get prompted: nothing provides perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.34.0) needed by perl-CGI-Session-4.48-23.fc35.noarch

-- KeithSteger - 14 Apr 2022

From what you say, it sounds like you know how to find and install these modules. Have you look for and tried installing MODULE_COMPAT_5.34.0? I saw these packages for Fedora: https://pkgs.org/download/perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.34.0) . -- LynnwoodBrown - 15 Apr 2022

Thanks, I will check this out.

Keith - I'm not much familiar with Fedora package management so can't comment on the errors listed above other than asking whether you tried the alternative parameters mentioned. Beyond that, I would suggestion following the suggestions in SystemRequirements > RedHat installation instructions, specifically to install CPAN and then install your perl modules via CPAN.
