perl-Math-GSL

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I could not compile perl-Math-GSL-0.40 because this package does not deal
with gsl 2.6
Thus, I installed gsl 2.5 independently of gsl 2.6 (gsl-2.6-2.fc32.x86_64)
and I was able to build the rpm package which requires libgsl.so.23

I put a link to this library (provided by gsl 2.5) in /usr/lib64
and run ldconfig

But
dnf install /home/pdupre/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/perl-Math-GSL-0.40-1.fc32.x86_64.rpm

is not happy
Last metadata expiration check: 1:53:24 ago on Wed 03 Jun 2020 09:26:44 AM CEST.
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libgsl.so.23()(64bit) needed by perl-Math-GSL-0.40-1.fc32.x86_64


How can I bypass this issue?

Thanks.

Unless you have created and installed an RPM package for GSL 2.5, no RPM
dependency data exists for libgsl.so.23()(64bit). If you are brave and
curious, you could choose to ignore dependencies by installing with
"rpm --nodeps ...", but be warned since it's quite a big hammer.

Yes,
Thanks.
It works.

This is the only option that I found to deploy my package.
I could not fix perl-Math-GSL-0.40 to have it matches GSL 2.6

Probably Leto will fix the issue sometimes

Indeed, there are plenty of perl packages that are not maintained for
fedora, this is really annoying.

I started avoiding perl a few years ago because it was too much effort
to keep things working and because recent hires and students in workshops
our lab ran had never encountered perl.

Check conda-forge perl <https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/perl>;.   For some
use cases, e.g., multi-lab project
where participants are on different platforms,  conda-forge provides
a common configuration.   It also gives you the option to continue with
an older configuration where a recent distro has patchy coverage.
