Seeking sample chart of accounts
by Howard Lowndes 28 Nov '23

I'm not looking for anything too elaborate. AR, AP, Income, Expenses, Inventory, Equity would be fine if there are any samples available for import. TIA,

*Spreadsheet::WriteExcel* *XML::Twig installing this asks questions about installing submodules* *OpenOffice::OODoc the also asks a question about preferred file format* *At the point I now have a page to create an account* -- Howard. -- When you want a computer system that works, just choose Linux; When you want a computer system that works, just, choose Microsoft.

Some progress

At last I have got starman to remain stable and allow a login screen. I can get the setup.pl screen and I have created a database (manual page 44) At the stage I'm not getting the screen Fg 5.2. I am getting a screen to allow me to setup users and I have setup a few users with different accounting capabilities. I can also manipulate these users to change their capabilities. What I am also not getting is the ability to setup a chart of accounts. If I login as a normal user, not as the dbadmn, I get the greeting page and the menu lst of my abilities. I tried Genera; Ledger->Chart of Accounts to see what happened, knowing that I had no CoA, and I got a system error to the effect that Perl module *Excel::Writer::XLSX probably wasn't installed. Full error follows:* *Template error: undef error - Can't locate Excel/Writer/XLSX.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Excel::Writer::XLSX module) (@INC contains: /opt/ledgersmb/bin/.. lib old/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.32.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.32.1 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl5/5.32 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl-base /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.32 /usr/share/perl/5.32 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at lib/LedgerSMB/Template/Plugin/XLSX.pm line 18.* *BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/LedgerSMB/Template/Plugin/XLSX.pm line 18.Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/Module/Runtime.pm line 314.at lib/LedgerSMB.pm line 667.* I'll continue when cpan has finished doing t's thing loading the missing module. -- Howard. -- When you want a computer system that works, just choose Linux; When you want a computer system that works, just, choose Microsoft.

In an earlier post I referred to installing LedgerSMB on a Raspberry Pi and how the installation offered by the repository was only LedgerSBM 1.6.9

I am now trying to install 1.10.25 (the latest stable version), but have hit a brick wall. I cannot install a couple of Perl modules - DBD::Pg and PGObject. It appears the latter is dependent upon the former and the former cannot find a header file libpg-fe.h. There is no libpg-dev offered by the repository and libpg-perl and libpg-hstore-perl do not provide it either. Googling shows that I am not alone with the missing header file.. The Postgresql version installed is 13.13. H.E.L.P.! -- Howard. -- When you want a computer system that works, just choose Linux; When you want a computer system that works, just, choose Microsoft.

Further investigation

My problem is with starman repeatedly starting and failing so I have run is from the CLI with the result as in the attached screen grab. The grab then has the lines referred to. -- Howard. -- When you want a computer system that works, just choose Linux; When you want a computer system that works, just, choose Microsoft.

One step forward, two steps back
by Howard Lowndes 26 Nov '23

Having now correctly installed the libpq-dev package I now have all the Perl modules installed. So, now starting the ledgersmb-starman.service appears to be successful, BUT NOT SO, as it continually stops and tries a restart with a new process. I managed to grab a screenshot of the error (attached).

Important to note is that the lines from 68 and later do the actual installation of LedgerSMB; the lines before 68 are trying to map the Perl dependencies from the project's "cpanfile" to Debian package names. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.
