[Ifeffit] Problem building latest demeter on Debian 32bit Stretch

[Bruce Ravel]

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.
