LinHES

I've been trying to solve why no maps are available in MythWeather. The only screens available are the text-only forecasts.
It appears to be caused by Image::Size missing.

perl maps.pl
Can't locate Image/Size.pm in @INC

Trying to add Image::Size begins a never-ending loop of failures in cpan. Any attempt to build a package results in a make failure. Always seen is the error that YAML is missing. Attempting to install it causes another failure. Test is missing. Build-Essentials seems to be missing and I finally gave up trying to follow the chain because of the continued stream of failures and nothing would build.

I tested using pacman to install build-essentials but nothing came up. A whole list of packages did come up for upgrades and I let it go through them. It downloaded 120mb of packages and then failed because timezone.bin existed in the filesystem. I had to

mv /usr/MythVantage/bin/timezone.bin /usr/MythVantage/bin/timezone.bin.old

in order to get the updates to install. None of the updates solved the perl problem of course.
I got another error during the update process but it didn't seem to cause any problems:

g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jpeg.so: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've attached a file with clips of some of the perl failures
