I'm trying to install GD.pm on centos 5.8 and stuck on this problem. I have already installed all available graphic libraries with yum.
Have any ideas?

The GD module is just a thin layer around libgd. So you'll want to install that first.
$ sudo yum install gd
You'll probably need the development library too (for the C header files).
$ sudo yum install gd-devel
But, all in all, you're probably better off just installing the Centos package (which will handle all the dependencies for you).
$ sudo yum install perl-GD

Net::SSLeay::Handle compiling error in Ubuntu 16.04

I've a problem to install the aforementioned module via cpanm in my multi-threading version of Perl (not the original one).
I've Ubuntu 16.04.
When trying to compile and test this module it gives me the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: impossible to find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:494: instructions set for target "blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so" fail
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so] Error 1
-> FAIL Installing Net::SSLeay::Handle failed. See /home/my_name/.cpanm/work/1548275319.13675/build.log for details. Retry with --force to force install it.
openssl,ssllib-dev-perl,libnet-ssleay-perl, libcrypt-ssleay-perl already installed via apt-get.
I've also tried to compile manually this module, without success. I forced the installation too...no way.
The error seems linked with something missing in /usr/bin/ld: (impossible to find -lz collect2).
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Cpanm has always worked pretty well. Up to now i've been able to get all my modules installed and well functioning, apart from Net::SSLeay::Handle.
Thanks in advace for your help
Ok, i solved by installing this packages (Ubuntu 16.04LTS):
-openssl
-libssl-dev
-libnet-ssleay-perl
-libcrypt-ssleay-perl
-zlib1g-dev as suggested above
Once you're done doing that, remember to avoid testing the module when gcc will be finishing compiling it, because in most cases it fails.
So the best incantation in doing this should be as follows:
-cpanm install -v --notest Net::SSLeay::Handle
Many thanks again to all Perl mates writing in this forum.
You saved the day
first log in cpan
sudo cpan
force intalling the module should work
force install Net::SSLeay::Handle
This should also install missing modules or notice it

Install perl module Net:SSH2 on redhat/centos 7

As the title says I am trying to install the perl module perl-Net-SSH2. I have tried via yum but get an error that no package is available.
yum install perl-Net-SSH2
I have tried by downloading an rpm file but the only one I can find is for el6 and it complains about the version of perl
yum localinstall perl-Net-SSH2-0.45-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.1)
I have tried downloading the source code but get told "Unable to find a working version of library ssh2 in the following directories" even though it is installed. (via yum install libssh2 libssh2-devel)
I have tried via cpan but get the same error "Unable to find a working version of library ssh2 in the following directories"
Any ideas? Google is very sketchy on this and only
OK, I solved this while writing the question. Seeing as information on this is limited I thought it would be worth posting the question anyway. The error message was giving the wrong information in that it was actually gcc that was missing, not libssh2. These are the steps I followed. I've tried to make it as verbatim as possible. I have not verified all these modules are required but this is what I installed before compiling it.
yum install libssh2 libssh2-devel
yum install openssl openssl-devel
yum install perl-Net-SSLeay
yum install gcc
Search for Net::SSH2 in google
Click the link "Net::SSH2 - search.cpan.org"
Download source code (tar.gz file)
Copy it to your redhat 7 machine
tar -xvf Net-SSH2-0.62.tar.gz
cd Net-SSH2-x.xx
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
Should all be working now, test it with
perl -e 'use Net::SSH2;'

Which missing library results in the message '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglib-2.0'?

I am cross compiling a Lazarus program, creating a 32bit program on a 64bit Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr system, and everything apparently compiles to the very end when I get this messsage
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglib-2.0
What is the full name of the library whose absence results in this error mesage?
libc6-dev:i386 appears to be the most likely library, but when I try to install it with apt indicates build-essential g++ gcc gcc-multilib will be removed so I abort it.

It turns out it was the libglib2.0-0:i386 package. It was already installed earlier, but it had not been fully configured.
It was present in the /lib/i386-linux directory and I had to create a symlink to it include it to the fpc.cfg configuration file used by Free Pascal.
locate libglib | grep ^/lib produced:
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0.4002.0
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0.4002.0
I symlinked it with the expected name:
ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so
then added to the Lazarus installations fpc.cfg file
#ifdef cpui386
-Fl/usr/lib32
-Fl/lib/i386-linux-gnu
#endif

Redhat Linux 6.5 Perl GD CPAN Module yum

Does anyone know an advice?
Many perl modules are available already built and packaged for RHEL and derivatives such as CentOS. In the case of perl-GD, it seems it is available in the CentOS in the base repo even though it is not in the RHEL repo.
However you can still use the Centos repo by adding it to your yum configuration. Create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/cantos.repo containing:
[centos]
name=CentOS $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/$basearch/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0
After which you should be able to install perl-GD
yum install --enablerepo centos perl-GD
It looks as though the current version of perl-GD for centos is 2.44.
If you do need a newer version that that, you will either need to find a 3rd party yum repo which has the later version of libgd available, or compile it from source. In a quick google I could not find the former, so I would recommend you download the latest source package and install that.
You need the package gd-devel then rebuild the GD module.

How can I install XML::LibXML on Ubuntu

Here is the stdout for install:

Also, you may try to run perl Makefile.PL with the DEBUG=1 parameter

i tried installing libxml2 manually, but still getting the same issue.
also, i checked for libxml2-dev:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

Reading state information... Done
libxml2-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 78 not upgraded.
here is the system info:
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.04

Linux autobot 2.6.38-8-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:49:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I think the relevant line is:
Checking for ability to link against libxml2...libxml2, zlib, and/or the Math library (-lm) have not been found.
So, you've covered off libxml. Have you installed the appropriate zlib package? Try:
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
Then try installing XML::LibXML again.
Why do you want to use CPAN for this anyway? It is typically very bad idea to install CPAN packages if you have native packages provided by standard operating system installer.
Ubuntu provides a lot of Perl packages natively, with following naming convention: package name always starts with lib, then Perl package name like XML::LibXML is converted to lower case and :: replaced to dash - (XML::LibXML => xml-libxml), and finally -perl suffix is added. In other words, native package name for XML::LibXML would be libxml-libxml-perl.
So, in your case, you simply run this command and it will pull all necessary dependencies automatically:
sudo apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl
If you don't like this package for any reason you can uninstall it with sudo apt-get remove. If you use CPAN, it is very difficult to uninstall it reliably.
Overlooked the obvious:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall zlibc zlib1g zlib1g-dev
then:
sudo cpanm XML::LibXML
works!
Maybe this is new version. I did:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
After this module builded and installed successfully
