I'am trying the PPA that's been suggested earlier on a fresh new
Ubuntu installation (thanks to QEmu/KVM).
I am preferring it to the Debian repository as the PPA should be more
Ubuntu-oriented.
I am referring to http://ledgersmb.org/topic/installing-ledgersmb-15
for instructions.

Also this one is requiring me to pull 294 packages in and installed version
"1.4.33+ds-1~ubuntu16.04.1".
I checked that both apache module for perl and cpanm were missing.
So I added them.
Then I have checked the Perl "core" modules and found that libjson-perl,
libpgobject-util-dbmethod-perl and libmoosex-nonmoose-perl were missing.
All packages needed for PDF output were already in place as well as the
"Stand-alone Perl server".
I also added the extra (?) "OpenOffice output document" stuff.
I think that those missing bits should be pulled in as dependencies and not
installed manually. In my opinion.

I then went to the CPAN modules section.
For cpanm to work the "build-essential" package needs to be pulled in,
so I added it.
The suggested command says: "cpanm --quiet --notest --installdeps ."
but there is
no detail about that "." which should be the place where the
dependencies should be
checked from. I have tried the installation path
(/usr/share/ledgersmb) but it's still
failing with the same error:

I am not a Perl expert and am now stuck at this point.
I have also walked the "debian path" but in the end I reach this same end point.

Any hint on how to fix this stale situation?
TIA.
