Can't locate Hash/Merge.pm in @INC

You need the Hash::Merge perl module, that seems to be packaged in the perl-hash-merge package. I don't know if your Manjaro version includes it.

No layout for ID 0/0/0

This can be the result of several problems.
Can you try data capture in debugging mode and join the produced log file?

Thanks for your answer.

The perl-hash-merge package does exist in arch linux (some versions, at least), but
not in manjaro. It could very well be due to that.

About the log file, I am a bit embarrassed that I have been unable to find how to get one.
I attach the result of

auto-multiple-choice analyse --debug ./debug.log


I also get this, but I don't think it's important

WARNING: The convert command is deprecated in IMv7, use "magick" instead of "convert" or "magick convert"


Sorry, wrong log file. That is the one for the downgraded version, 1.6.0.

But, for some reason, AMC is now working? I have not done much, just upgraded AMC again.
And now it works...

About the log file, I am a bit embarrassed that I have been unable to find how to get one.

From the GUI, select "Debugging" from the Help menu. Then try automatic data capture.

Strange.

Hi!

Happy Manjaro user here as well. Although I only use AMC on Manjaro as a backup, I needed it yesterday and faced the same issue.

It has been quite a struggle to troubleshoot is with the help of Claude but in the end it worked. The night has passed and I did not document the fix.

Yet, I am happy to share my chat session with Claude this can help (probably loo near the end):

Also, below is my terminal history prior to fixing it:

 8959  pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/5.34'
 8960  sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/5.34')
 8961  sudo pacman -S perl-app-cpanminus
 8962  LC_ALL=C find "/usr/lib/perl5/5.36" -type f -exec pacman -Qqo {} + |& sed -n 's/^error: No package owns \(.*\)$/\1/p'
 8963  perl -MHash::Merge -e 'print "Hash::Merge is installed\n"'
 8965  sudo pacman -S perl-app-cpanminus
 8966  which cpanm
 8967  /usr/bin/cpanm --version
 8968  pacman -Ql cpanminus | grep bin
 8969  sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Hash::Merge'
 8970  auto-multiple-choice

Hope this can be of any assistance.

Cheers,

Greg

Sure, I can do that now. But now, it's working.

While before, I was unable to do do anything: the "Can't locate Hash/Merge.pm" message was
displayed as stderr, AMC never started!

Thinking about what I might have done to fix this, I did try

pamac build perl-hash-merge-simple
pamac install perl-hash-ordered


After each of those, I tried running auto-multiple-choice with no success.
But I have rebooted my PC since then, maybe that was what fixed. I will try
this on my work PC, on which I have the same OS (and same problem), but I won't
be able to do so until tomorrow, or maybe later.

Hi again.

So, here I am at work, and AMC does not work, as it should not.

I attach the log file I get from

auto-multiple-choice analyse --debug log.log

(As I said, I am not sure how to get a more complete log file.)

Your command call does not process anything. Can you enter debugging mode from the GUI (menu button, then Help, then Debugging) and try an action that fails?

Hi.

No, I am afraid I cannot. The program instantly crashes and prints out the error above ("Can't locate Hash/Merge.pm "...).

The GUI is never opened.

I suspect fiddling with cpanminus as suggested will fix the problem, but I didn't have the time to play with this at work.
