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.

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

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.
