Never used Linux Mint. Yet, on a quick search for "ProcessTable linux-mint perl" Showed a few packages: https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/libproc-processtable-perl https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/libproc-process-perl It would be cool if you could send us a patch against ./build adding support for Linux Mint dependencies. If you take a look on it, you'll notice that it should be very easy to teach the script about a new distro. You just need to add a new if inside sub give_hints(). Something like: if ($system_release =~ /Linux Mint/) { give_mint_hints; return; } And create a new subroutine telling the package names for: - the "lsdiff" command; - two perl packages: Digest::SHA and Proc::ProcessTable Yet, as Mint is based on Debian/Ubuntu, perhaps just the enclosed patch would be enough. > Here is what I installed to have it compile: > > sudo cpan Proc::ProcessTable Well, you can always install packages via cpan, although this perl extension should very likely be there on all distros.
