We are running TWiki-JumpBox V1.0.3 on VM-Ware. I tried to install some plugins (via shell) but only succeded with those whose prerequisites are already fullfilled. If some new Perl modules are needed these can't be installed (tried via CPAN): there is no make/gcc available on the JumpBox and apt-get won't install the gcc4.0-base cause it thinks it is already installed - boom.
Is there any way to get the TWiki plugins in question running? The LdapContrib-Plugin is one of those I'd like to install but can't.
By the way: 'man' is also missing on the JumpBox.
Kind regards, André
Thanks
Hi Austin,
apt-get install build-essential did the trick and I got gcc and make running. Thanks a lot for Your help.
André
Hi Andre, Try and do sudo
Hi Andre,
Try and do
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install build-essentialto get your build environment. If this continues to fail let me know exactly what error you get. gcc-4.0-base is a dummy parent package and doesnt actually contain the compiler anyway.There are many packages which are not present on the JumpBox due to space constraints. The general procedure is to update your apt cache, search for the package you want, then install the desired package:
sudo apt-get update
apt-cache search man
sudo apt-get install man
Since many of our customers never even log into the JumpBox on the command line, 'man' can be done without. We may release a meta-package in the future that will bootstrap you JumpBox into a more complete state as far as command line usability is concerned.
Good luck,
Austin
