Two things: 1) There's been a bug reported on Curses::UI and the way it does its language phrase replacement which is apparently incompatible with fatpacker: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=85231 Sadly, this bug is from 2013 and maybe beyond my ken to fix. And 2nd, trying to install pp instead and maybe see if the PARs work better, these are the errors I got trying to install pp (this in my local lib, I'm on SDF.org): "/usr/bin/perl" par_pl2c.pl my_par_pl < ../script/par.pl > my_par_pl.c x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fwrapv -f +no-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_ +FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36/CORE -DLD +>x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fwrapv +-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE - +D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36/CORE -D +LD>x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc main.o sha1.o -s -Wl,-E -fstack-protector-s +trong -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36/CORE -l +perl -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt -o ./par /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: * [Makefile:885: par] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/meta/p/peteyboy/.cpanm/work/1710133941.11 +99273/PAR-Packer-1.062/myldr' make: * [Makefile:577: subdirs] Error 2 -> FAIL Installing pp failed.

"Sadly, this bug is from 2013 and maybe beyond my ken to fix." Does the specified workaround help? For those who, like me, will find this ticket when googling the error +message: Simply add the option -M Curses::UI::Language::english on the `pp` command line. [download] `cpanm pp` installs without issue for me on sdf-eu, is the BSD equivalent of libperl-dev isn't installed, can you `locate libperl.so`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Oh my goodness, I found this bug; https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=26728 It is my exact issue, and I copied the lines in the "fix" directly into my local library to change Curses/UI/Language.pm, and I think it's working. I made a fatpack of my single-file perlscript and it doesn't break when it runs, but now I need to run it in an environment without my local lib in it. *fingers crossed Thks for the pointers! How would I get this patch into Curses::UI, or how can I set up patches like this so I don't lose them if I reinstall or something?	[reply]

How would I get this patch into Curses::UI ... I'd start by looking at section VI of the CPAN FAQ. In this case, the lack of updates since 2011 suggests that you or someone else would probably need to volunteer to take over maintenance of the distribution. ... or how can I set up patches like this so I don't lose them if I reinstall or something? I don't know how others would do it, but I prefer to keep the installation of packages pretty manual. I create a build script for each module/version that I install, mostly auto-generated by a local script based on the URL of the download package, and then tweak and comment for any idiosyncracies noted when building. So for example I have `/src/perl/build/Devel-Debug-DBGp-0.22`, which applies the patch from issue #6: `cd /src/perl wget -P archive https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/M/MB/MBARBON/Deve +l-Debug-DBGp-0.22.tar.gz # requires: # ... cd /src/perl zcat archive/Devel-Debug-DBGp-0.22.tar.gz \| tar xf - cd /src/perl/Devel-Debug-DBGp-0.22 patch -p0 </src/perl/build/Devel-Debug-DBGp-PUSHMARK.patch cd /src/perl/Devel-Debug-DBGp-0.22 ${PERL} Makefile.PL make all test install cd /src/perl rm -rf Devel-Debug-DBGp-0.22` [download] I usually build things by pasting relevant paragraphs from the build script into a terminal window, but it's easy to stitch these together to recreate a full build.

You can use Distroprefs to automatically apply patches to CPAN distributions on installation. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]
