Unable to install perl modules - Net::SSH::Perl

Hello.

For installing ldap-account-manager, I need to install Net::SSH::Perl.

I am unable to install this module.
Compile freeze on “make test”

I tried to re-install bundle with success
( cpan install Bundle::CPAN )

Any help is welcome.

This is Net::SSH::Perl.

As of version 1.00, Net::SSH::Perl supports both the SSH1 and
SSH2 protocols natively. The two protocols have different
module prerequisitives, so you need to decide which protocol(s)
you plan to use. If you use one or the other, only those modules
for your chosen protocol will be installed; if you choose both,
all of the supporting modules will be installed. Please choose
the protocols you’d like to use from the following list (“Both”
is the default).

[1] SSH1
[2] SSH2
[3] Both SSH1 and SSH2

Which protocol(s) do you plan to use? [3]

Some of the Net::SSH::Perl ciphers depend on a Crypt:: module from
CPAN. You may already have the necessary modules installed, in which
case you don’t need to bother with this step. Otherwise you’ll need
to install at least one cipher to use Net::SSH::Perl. Please choose
at least one from the following list (Crypt::IDEA is the default).

[1] IDEA
[2] DES
[3] DES3
[4] Blowfish
[5] RC4

Enter your choices, separated by spaces: [1]

Please, I need help.

I suspect the reason is some of the tests assume connectivity which you don’t have or need to set up, and doesn’t mean anything is wrong with the module, just that not all the tests can be run from where you are.

You could use the force action to the CPAN shell to install anyway without testing. Or download the package, unpack, build and install manually.

# fetch Net-SSH-Perl-1.30.tar.gz by your preferred means
tar zxvf Net-SSH-Perl-1.30.tar.gz
cd Net-SSH-Perl-1.30
perl Makefile.PL
# you may need to answer some prompts here
make
make install

Of course, it’s up to you to work out if the module is working correctly for your application later.

Only the make install needs to be done as root.
