perl Can't locate loadable object for module Math::Pari in @INC

Question

I've written a perl script which run's fine on my environment, but on my client environment it fails on:

Can't locate loadable object for module Math::Pari in @INC (@INC contains: Error-0.17020/lib        JSON-2.57/lib URI-1.60 libwww-perl-5.836/lib Net-Address-IP-Local-0.1.2/lib Math-GMP-2.06/ Net-     SSH-Perl-1.35/lib/ /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2  /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl  .) at Net-SSH-Perl-1.35/lib//Net/SSH/Perl/Util/SSH2MP.pm line 6

I've tried to add use lib 'Math'; with the contains the content of Math-Pari-2.0305_01080605 module, but no luck :/

I don't want my client to install cpan packages from by him self - it should be fully environment independent product.

I prefer to avoid switching from "Net-SSH-Perl-1.35" since large parts of my code depends on it.

10x in advance!

UPDATE: I'm rewriting the update to clarify things up:

my starting point was with the following libraries:

use lib 'Net-SSH-Perl-1.35/lib/'; 
use lib 'Math-GMP-2.06/'; 
use lib 'Net-Address-IP-Local-0.1.2/lib';
use lib 'libwww-perl-5.836/lib';
use lib 'URI-1.60';
use lib 'JSON-2.57/lib';
use lib 'Error-0.17020/lib';
use Net::SSH::Perl;
use LWP::Simple;
use JSON qw( decode_json );
use POSIX qw/strftime/;
use Net::Address::IP::Local;

which output the following:

Can't locate Math/Pari.pm in @INC (@INC contains: Error-0.17020/lib JSON-2.57/lib URI-1.60 libwww-  perl-5.836/lib Net-Address-IP-Local-0.1.2/lib Math-GMP-2.06/ Net-SSH-Perl-1.35/lib/ /etc/perl    /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5     /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at Net-SSH-Perl-  1.35/lib//Net/SSH/Perl/Util/SSH2MP.pm line 6, <GEN0> line 1.

In order to fix that I've added the next statement:

use lib 'Math-Pari-2.010709';

and the error changed to:

I need to say that the folder Math didn't originally exist at Math-Pari-2.010709, so I've created it and moved Math-Pari-2.010709 content into it in order location perl was looking for.

In this stage I've added: use Math::Pari

but it seems that doesn't make a diference:

Can't locate loadable object for module Math::Pari in @INC (@INC contains: Math-Pari-2.010709 Error- 0.17020/lib JSON-2.57/lib URI-1.60 libwww-perl-5.836/lib Net-Address-IP-Local-0.1.2/lib Math-GMP-2.06/    Net-SSH-Perl-1.35/lib/ /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5  /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./install.pl  line 24
Compilation failed in require at ./install.pl line 24.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./install.pl line 24.

I thing that summarize all my attempts so far.

I would appreciate any help!

Answer 1

There are many many CPAN distributions that must go through a build and install process; you cannot just unpack the files from CPAN and point perl at them.

Math::Pari is one; it has to compile bindings to an external library (which also must be present).

You are out of luck with this approach.

Answer 2

You may be able to switch to Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl that is compatible at the API level with most of Net::SSH::Perl and has less and easier to install dependencies.

Its only non-pure Perl dependencies are IO::Pty required in order to support password authentication and the OpenSSH ssh binary that will be already installed on the machine for Linux and BSD systems or available as a package for Solaris and probably several other unixen.
