How have you been attempting to do the install? And on which version of which OS? And note that a 1.4.32 package is available at our apt.ledgersmb.org repository built for Debian 8 ('jessie').

The issues I'm seeing now are:
Creating "employee" contact appears to be creating customer (credit account AR, no wage and deductions tab) instead but I work around this by creating the employee in setup.pl instead of "Contacts" "Add Contact"

My biggest issue is the PDF/xelatex thing. Xelatex does work outside of ledgersmb interface. I went through the http://ledgersmb.org/system-requirements and ensured every Perl module was installed. I was able to get them all from Apt except Data::Dumper I used cpan. I've ensured it was installed by issue this command:
perl -e 'use Data::Dumper; print $Data::Dumper::VERSION."\n"'
2.161

On Debian, Data::Dumper is part of the main Perl install, so you shouldn't need to install it from cpan for Debian or Debian derived OS's... (Note that a base install of Debian/Ubuntu may only have a minimal Perl installed, rather than the full Perl represented by the 'perl' package...)

I then found this doc: https://sourceforge.net/p/ledger-smb/code/HEAD/tree/branches/1.4/INSTALL and ensured all those modules (including the Optional) were installed.

The Apache2 error I'm getting when I try to "pdf" a report is:

That 'dbversion' would seem to indicate that you're attempting to run or install it from a clone of the git repo?
