[ledgersmb-users] Re: LedgerSMB 1.7.18 install of FreeeBSD-12.1p8

Hi James,

I know you already have your answer through the chat channel, but I'm answering in the mailing list as well to archive the answer for posterity or maybe other mailing list readers are interested to know the answer too.

I am attempting to install LedgerSMB from a tarball into a FreeBSD jail running
FBSD-12.1.p8.

I have Apache and Starman configured and running. However, Starman reports
this error:

Error while loading /opt/ledgersmb/1.7.18/ledgersmb/bin/ledgersmb-server.psgi:

Starman inherits support for the -I (capital i) option from "plackup", but starman's own documentation doesn't list it. This option allows specification of additional library paths for Perl to consider. We added "-Ilib" and "-Iold/lib" which are the library paths for our code base.

Then we started starman in the root of the cloned repository (/opt/ledgersmb) which is important so starman can find the UI templates and other files.

I am not very familar with perl but it seems to me that I need to set PERL5LIB
to include /opt/ledgersmb/1.7.18/ledgersmb/lib/LedgerSMB. But where do I set
this so that Starman picks it up?
