Re: LedgerSMB 1.4.32 - installation

Thank you so much, Robert. To answer your questions:

I installed ledgersmb from the jessie main repo from Mint 18.

I've been playing a bit more and hopefully have more info to provide you here. I attempted to follow the instructions on: http://ledgersmb.org/faq/latex but I didn't have a Path.pm file in the Perl5/drivers folder, so carrying on, I created a sales order and tried to view it on the screen and got this error (to be expected according to the page):

I looked in the Drivers.pm file and I changed pdf and ps references to xelatex from pdflatex and latex, and now I'm getting this error:

Your time means so much to me, Robert. Thank you!! I have a sneaky feeling I'm awfully close.

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?
