Hm, we're getting somewhere. Putting the 'use Carp;' line now has dathena come up, but delivering this error: Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1/Demeter/Plot/Gnuplot.pm line 29. and when you exit, it pops up a dialogue box with this error: Use of uninitialized value in stat at /usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1/Demeter/Plot/Gnuplot.pm line 270. The program seems to behave ok otherwise, but I don't know what operations would have problems with an uninitialized gnuplot module variable or subroutine. Why would it have issues initializing in the first place (or not finding the Carp module)? Thanks for the help so far! Al
Well ... the beam just dumped, so let's see if I can figure this out....
Demeter does not use Carp::Clan, so the version number of libcarp-clan-perl is irrelevant.
This is a puzzler for me. I have never seen this problem over many, many versions of perl. So there is something I don't understand about your system. I cannot reproduce this problem, so it's going to be difficult to resolve.
Try this:
Put
use Carp;
just after line 257 of lib/Demeter/Plot/Gnuplot.pm. Line 257 is the one that says
{ no warnings 'redefine';
No guarantees, but maybe that'll help.... Let me know. B

Hello -
We're trying to install demeter on a 32-bit system running Debian 9.2 Stretch. The 'perl Build.PL' and 'Build' run into no issues, but when we try running 'Build test' we get the following error messages:

The "croak" command not getting found appears to come from the "Carp" perl module - we have version 6.06-1 of the 'libcarp-clan-perl' package installed. Any suggestions as to what's causing this error? Again, the 'perl Build.PL' command shows no issues with the installed modules, but since most of them were installed from the Debian repository, maybe there's a discrepancy with the modules installed when we run './Build installdeps'?
Thanks for any assistance -
