UsingWW: Installation, checking module dependencies

Hello, I am going through the Installation Manual for 2.17 on Ubuntu - I am using Ubuntu 20.04.5

When I get to Installation of Other Perl Modules with cpanm I get this;

wwadmin@webwork2:~$ sudo cpanm Statistics::R::IO SQL::Abstract::Classic
[sudo] password for wwadmin:

I didn't realize this happened....then when I get to Checking Module Dependencies I see this;

checking for SQL::Abstract

You have version 1.86 of SQL::Abstract installed. This will be used

I'm not sure how to fix this, can someone please help,

thanks,

You need to have make installed. Run "sudo apt install make". You might have missed that package. It is in the list of packages to install on the installation manual page. You should check that you have everything in that list installed. You are also missing libuuid-tiny-perl and libxml-parser-easytree-perl.

Also, you do not need to install SQL::Abstract::Classic on Ubuntu 20.04. The version of SQL::Abstract on Ubuntu 20.04 is not new enough to have issues with WeBWorK. Although, if you want to install it you can. I recommend that if you do, you install it from the Ubuntu repositories, and not from cpan. It is in the Ubuntu package libsql-abstract-classic-perl.

yes, thanks, I figured it out.

In the install guide in the command to install all packages, near the beginning - it seems there is a missing back slash (maybe) ?

not sure if this is in-error. but anyways, I installed make manually, and then it all worked.

checking for SQL::Abstract

You have SQL::Abstract::Classic installed. This package will be used if either
the installed version of SQL::Abstract is version > 1.87 or if that package is not installed.

am I ok to proceed now with the rest of the guide? https://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Installation_Manual_for_2.17_on_Ubuntu

You should be good to proceed.

Thanks for pointing out the missing backslash. I added it.

It seems the libsql-abstract-classic-perl package is not available on Ubuntu 22.04. Largely because it isn't needed. As I said, the version of SQL::Abstract in the repositories for Ubuntu will work fine, so you didn't need to install SQL::Abstract::Classic. The SQL::Abstract::Class library is just provided for applications like WeBWorK that need compatibility with the older versions of SQL::Abstract when a newer version is installed.
