SID-02030: LdapContrib not recognising Net::LDAP installed

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:	5.14.2
Category:	LdapContrib	Server OS:	Debian Linux 7.8	Last update:	10 years ago

I'm trying to install LdapContrib, but I'm getting errors:

##########################################################
Checking dependency on Digest::MD5....
##########################################################
Checking dependency on Net::LDAP....
*** LdapContrib depends on cpan package Net::LDAP >=0.33
which is described as "Required"
But when I tried to find it I got this error:

Attempt to reload Net/LDAP.pm aborted.
Compilation failed

Net::LDAP is installed:

# perl -e 'use Net::LDAP;'
#

I've run the installer by hand and let it install Net::LDAP from CPAN, but it still fails:

# WARNING: I still can't find the module Net::LDAP

Any pointers as to where to look?

Discussion and Answer

Not sure why TWiki does not find the local path. In any case, I recommend installing the dependent CPAN modules as root. See HowToInstallCpanModules for details.

Just a wild guess: Do you have another, maybe incomplete/damaged Net::LDAP installation somewhere in TWiki's @INC (check also the environment variables TWIKI_LIBS) ?

"Attempt to reload <module>" is a Perl diagnostic message saying that your script had already tried to load Net::LDAP before, but failed.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
