Hi Edmund, I installed on 16.04 LTS following this: https://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg05851.html though this was 2 years ago. A more recent installation, I think, did not involve manually installing giflib-5.1.4. -R. On 2018-08-08 7:07 AM, Edmund Welter wrote:
Dear all, I am hitting a wall trying to install the latest Demeter version on my ubuntu laptop. System: Ubuntu 14.04 Demeter: 0.9.26 perl: 5.18.2 pdl and pdl::stats from repositories. (I tried a newer versions from cpan, but ot no avail) moose: initially from repositories, than vs. 2.2011 from cpan
I did follow the installation instructions on https://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/documents/SinglePage/demeter_nonroot.ht...
and tried to install demeter in ~/perl5 and also the instructions in: https://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/documents/SinglePage/installation.html
to install Demeter as sudo
Both attempts ended with the same result when I start dathena in a terminal the image of the goddess appears briefly and I get the following error messages in the terminal: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Invalid version format (non-numeric data) at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/Moose/Exporter.pm line 11, <DATA> line 90.

When i try to start denv to create the nice overview of installed components I only get the following errors: -------------------------------------------------------------------- [PDL->Version: 10 PDL_CORE_VERSION: 8 XS_VERSION: ] PDL::Stats::Distr needs to be recompiled against the newly installed PDL at /usr/lib/perl/5.18/DynaLoader.pm line 207.

Any hint would be welcome, upgrading ubuntu to a newer LTS version might be useful (It is absolutely possible that something is weird with this installation after a lot of playing around) but I am currently reluctant to do so, because it will for sure break other things...
