elinks package is no longer available
The RPM package elinks is no longer available in RHEL / CentOS / Rocky 8 even with EPEL package repository. elinks is only needed if are intending to upload web pages or XML files and these need to be indexed by EPrints, so if installing from source use the following DNF command line:
dnf install libxml2 libxslt httpd mod_perl perl-DBI perl-DBD-MySQL perl-IO-Socket-SSL perl-Time-HiRes \ perl-CGI perl-Digest-MD5 perl-Digest-SHA perl-JSON perl-XML-LibXML perl-XML-LibXSLT perl-XML-SAX \ perl-MIME-Lite perl-Text-Unidecode perl-JSON perl-Unicode-Collate perl-Pod-LaTeX tetex-latex wget \ gzip tar ImageMagick poppler-utils chkconfig unzip cpan
Alternatively, for RHEL 8 you can enable the codeready-builder repository, which still has elinks available:
subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms"
If you are running CentOS 8 (or Rocky 8) you can similarly enable the powertools repository:
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
perl-IO-String package is no longer available
The RPM package perl-IO-String is no longer available in RHEL / CentOS / Rocky 8 even with EPEL package repository. You can enable the codeready-builder repository, which still has perl-IO-String available:
subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms"
If you are running CentOS 8 (or Rocky 8) you can similarly enable the powertools repository:
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
Sub-dependency packages perl-MIME-Types and perl-Digest-SHA1 are no longer available
perl-MIME-Lite package requires perl-MIME-Types package and perl-Apache-DBI requires perl-Digest-SHA1 package neither of which available on RHEL / CentOS / Rocky 8, even with EPEL repository enabled. You can enable the codeready-builder repository, which still has these packahes available:
subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms"
If you are running CentOS 8 (or Rocky 8) you can similarly enable the powertools repository:
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
Compatibility issues with XML::LibXSLT
Sometimes the Perl module XML::LibXSLT packaged in the perl-XML-LibXSLT package causes segmentation faults with the Apache httpd webserver. Therefore, it may be better to install this Perl module using CPAN (as the root user):
yum erase perl-XML-LibXSLT cpan XML::LibXSLT
If you have installed the eprints RPM either locally or though DNF (i.e. new YUM). You will not be able to remove perl-XML-LibXSLT RPM without it forcing EPrints to be uninstalled. Therefore, you should manually remove /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/XML/LibXSLT/ rather than uninstalling the package before installing it using CPAN.
