I couldn't download Wx properly using cpan and kept getting an error so I tried to force-install it, now, when running:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Wx;

I get the following error:

Can't load '/usr/local/lib64/perl5/auto/Wx/Wx.so' for module Wx: libenchant.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 193.
 at test.pl line 3.
Compilation failed in require at test.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 3.

Edit: I finally got it to work! First I downloaded libenchant1c2a.deb and converted it into a .txz using deb2tgz, extracted it and placed the files inside in usr/lib usr/lib64 and usr/share after that I just followed Håkon Hægland's instructions and it worked perfectly, thanks!

    What was the error when you tried to install `Wx` without --force? – Dada Aug 13 '21 at 08:37
  • I didn't copy the error, but it was something quite similar to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12775094/why-does-cpan-install-fail-when-installing-scrappy though, it didn't have anything else past the "7" shown in that error – Sumito Aug 13 '21 at 08:47
  • What version of Perl are you using, what OS are you on, and which command did you run to install `Wx` ? – Håkon Hægland Aug 13 '21 at 09:40
  • I tried to install [Wx](https://metacpan.org/pod/Wx) from source on Ubuntu 21.04 with perl version 5.32.0. I first installed the wxWidgets libraries (version 3.0.2 from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-3.0.2.tar.bz2) by installing [Alien::wxWidgets](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::wxWidgets) from source. Then, I was able to compile `Wx` (i.e. running `perl Makefile.PL; make`) from source, but when running `make test` one test failed: [ext/xrc/t/01_load.t](https://metacpan.org/release/MDOOTSON/Wx-0.9932/source/ext/xrc/t/01_load.t). This test gives a segmentation fault. – Håkon Hægland Aug 13 '21 at 10:24
  • It's rather strange that it fails because of failing to find `libenchant.so` because this is not something used by wx itself, but installing it from the corresponding package might be enough to solve the problem. – VZ. Aug 13 '21 at 13:36
  • Re "*so I tried to force-install it*", So you forced the installation of a module that didn't work, and and now you're asking why the installed version doesn't work? – ikegami Aug 13 '21 at 14:10
  • The error informs you that module `DynaLoader.pm` is looking for library `libenchant.so.1` which it can not find (perhaps it is missing in your system). You need to install a package which provides `libenchant.so.1`. A quick look at [debian packages](https://packages.debian.org/) reveals that this library belongs to `libenchant1c2a` package. Now type following command `apt-get install libenchant1c2a` to install missing library. – Polar Bear Aug 13 '21 at 17:45
  • Note: forcing package installation often could lead to situation similar to described in the message. Installation provides an error which gives a clue what is missing and required to make the module function properly. Forced installation will not install missing piece, you should look for solution to install missing piece and only then try to reinstall module. – Polar Bear Aug 13 '21 at 17:49

I was able to install Wx from source on Ubuntu 21.04 with perl version 5.32.0. I first installed the wxWidgets libraries (version 3.0.2 from prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-3.0.2.tar.bz2) by installing Alien::wxWidgets from source:

$ wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/M/MD/MDOOTSON/Alien-wxWidgets-0.69.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf Alien-wxWidgets-0.69.tar.gz
$ cd Alien-wxWidgets-0.69.tar.gz
$ perl Makefile.PL 
 perl Makefile.PL 
# running Build.PL 
Do you want to fetch and build wxWidgets from sources? [no ]yes
Which wxWidgets version? (2.8.10, 2.8.11, 2.8.12, 2.9.0, 2.9.1, 2.9.2, 2.9.3, 2.9.4, 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2) [3.0.2 ]
3.0.2 
Which archive type? [tar.bz2 ]

 ------------------------------------------------------
 
 The installation of wxWidgets is finished.  On certain
 platforms (e.g. Linux) you'll now have to run ldconfig
 if you installed a shared library and also modify the
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) environment variable.
 
 wxWidgets comes with no guarantees and doesn't claim
 to be suitable for any purpose.
 
 Read the wxWindows Licence on licencing conditions.
 
 ------------------------------------------------------

Then, I was able to compile Wx:

$ wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/M/MD/MDOOTSON/Wx-0.9932.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf Wx-0.9932.tar.gz
$ cd Wx-0.9932

    Definition of variable `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` indicates that linker does not know how to find specified library. The situation can be remedied by modifying `/etc/ld.so.conf` and re-run [ldconfig](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ldconfig.8.html). – Polar Bear Aug 13 '21 at 21:59
