I constantly keep getting this error while trying to compile Kdevelop on my Fedora 27 virtualbox. As mentioned in here, I try to use this line kdesrc-build kdevelop

And I get this response:

kdesrc-build requires some minimal support to operate, including support from the Perl runtime that kdesrc-build is built upon.

Some mandatory Perl modules are missing, and kdesrc-build cannot operate
without them.  Please ensure these modules are installed and available to Perl:
one of (YAML::XS, YAML::PP, YAML::Syck)

So I try to install using cpan YAML::PP And I get this test summary report :

t/32.cyclic-refs.t      (Wstat: 512 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
  Non-zero exit status: 2
  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output

Result: FAIL

  /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
//hint// to see the cpan-testers results for installing this module, try:
  reports TINITA/YAML-PP-0.006.tar.gz

This is the whole error I get (Since I can't upload it here due to character limitations)

You can install some perl modules using dnf. So for this problem you could do sudo dnf install perl-YAML-Syck (yaml::syck is one of the modules that it says will work above).

Alternatively, to avoid this problem entirely, you can just install kdevelop without compiling it, if you want, using sudo dnf install kdevelop.
