I have downloaded PAC Manager but when I try to do yum install on it, I get dependency errors at the end:

Error: Package: pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64 (/pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64) Requires: perl(Gnome2::GConf) Error: Package: pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64 (/pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64) Requires: perl(Gtk2::GladeXML) Error: Package: pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64 (/pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64) Requires: perl-Crypt-Blowfish Error: Package: pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64 (/pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64) Requires: perl(Net::ARP) Error: Package: pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64 (/pac-4.5.5.5-2.x86_64) Requires: perl-IO-Stty

I have no idea how to satisfy these dependencies, as those are not available in my repositories (list below). I haven't found any working solution over the network.

I tried solution from the last post in this CentOS forum thread, but I am unable to install Pango under cpan with following error:

Pre-requisites not found: Can't locate Cairo.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at (eval 11) line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 11) line 1. Please install them manually. No 'Makefile' created XAOC/Pango-1.226.tar.gz /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL -- NOT OK Running make test Make had some problems, won't test Running make install Make had some problems, won't install Could not read metadata file. Falling back to other methods to determine prerequisites Failed during this command: XAOC/Pango-1.226.tar.gz : writemakefile NO -- No 'Makefile' created

Which I don't know how to solve. I also tried to install via cpan packages from Perlmonks. When I omitted Pango and tried Gtk2 it said, that missing dependencies are Pango and Glib. I had no error during Glib installation via cpan.

I have following repositories:

I think I provided as much details as I could, but I will add any missing information, if I have missed any.

Because of lack of reputation, not all URLs are linked as URLs

EDIT:

After I satisfied Glib dependency: Test::ConsistentVersion, it installed fully and Gtk2 says only about Pango missing.

When I try to install Pango via cpan, it returns:

Running install for module 'Pango' Running make for X/XA/XAOC/Pango-1.226.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/Pango-1.226-H8GEMA No 'Makefile' created , won't make Running make test Make had some problems, won't test Running make install Make had some problems, won't install

and nothing more, so I have no clue where should I go next.

I have fallen Yesterday in the exact same problem.

I finally ended up locating a nice yum repository that contains all the missing dependencies required by pac-manager : Nux.Ro RPMs for general desktop use

The repo is providing its installer so you should be able to: 

$ cd /tmp $ wget http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm $ sudo yum install -y nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm $ sudo yum install pac

Due to a proxy error with yum I ended up wget'ing all the missing packages manually and installing them manually until the dependencies were satisfied. With the following list (all located in the repo):

  • perl-Gnome2-VFS-1.082-1.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm
  • perl-Gtk2-Unique-0.05-10.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm
  • perl-Gtk2-Ex-Simple-List-0.50-19.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
  • perl-IO-Stty-0.03-10.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
  • perl-Crypt-Blowfish-2.12.001-5.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm
  • perl-Net-ARP-1.0.9-1.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm
  • perl-Gnome2-Canvas-1.002-24.el7.nux.x86_64.perl
  • Gnome2-1.045-1.el7.nux.x86_64.rpmrpm

  • you should also add the command to install pac manager: "yum install pac" Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 9:51

Try the below

Download the TAR file: pac-4.5.5.5-all.tar.gz Unpac the TAR file:

tar -xvzf pac-4.5.5.5-all.tar.gz

Note: This will create a folder named pac

Execute following commands:

sudo yum install perl-YAML.noarch sudo yum install uuid-perl.x86_64 sudo yum install perl-Crypt-CBC.noarch sudo yum install gtk2.x86_64 sudo yum install gtk2-devel.x86_64 sudo yum install perl-CPAN.noarch

Start CPAN in a new terminal by typing:

sudo cpan (important: start CPAN ar root)

In CPAN shell type:

yes install Test::More install ExtUtils::PkgConfig install ExtUtils::Depends

Leave the CPAN shell open and switch to another terminal window

Execute following commands:

sudo yum install glib2-devel.x86_64 sudo yum install pango-devel.x86_64 sudo yum install epel-release.noarch sudo yum clean all sudo yum makecache sudo yum install unique-devel.x86_64 sudo yum install GConf2-devel.x86_64 sudo yum install libglade2-devel.x86_64 sudo yum install perl-Socket6.x86_64

Switch back to CPAN shell and type:

install Cairo install Pango install Gtk2 install Gtk2::Unique install Net:ARP install Crypt::Rijndael install Crypt::Blowfish install Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List

This one will fail so you need to do some editing.

Switch to a new terminal window

sudo su cd /.cpan/build/Genome2-GConf-1.044-iKcoAq/xs vi GConfEngine.xs

Scroll down to the line starting with: ##gboolean gconf_engine_key_is_writable (...)

Delete the lines until the line starting with: guint

Leave an empty line above the line: guint

Save the file and exit

cd .. make clean perl Makefile.PL make

Here you should [b]ONLY[/b] get 2 Warnings. If there are any other messages, you should get back to the editing step (using vi) above and check your edits. Remember to leave the empty line above the line guint !

When you are done then get back to CPAN shell and continue with:

install Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List install Gnome2::GConf install Gtk2::GladeXML cd pac ./pac

  • is it required to execute installing packages by yum separately, in the exact order, or can I simply supply all packages to yum at once? keeping them divided by cpan installations of course. Commented Oct 29, 2015 at 8:37
  • I did it, step by step, on freshly installed CentOS7. Had no error during install Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List, but running ./pac produces Can't locate Socket6.pm in @INC. did yum install perl-Socket6.x86_64. Installation of Gnome2::Gconf via cpan failed with TSCH/Gnome2-GConf-1.044.tar.gz: make_test NO. Installing with force did the trick and pac has started - didn't do anything in it yet. I've edited the answer, adding yum package there and fixing capitalization in one of cpan packages. Commented Oct 29, 2015 at 10:11

Here are some updated instructions for 2018 to install pac manager in Centos 7 minimal:

#!/bin/sh yum install -y wget wget http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm yum install -y nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm yum install -y pac perl-Digest-SHA perl-XML-Parser perl-Gnome2-Vte find /opt/pac -name Vte.so* -exec rm {} \;

& run from the menu or via a terminal as pac
