Comment (by tkluck):
Have you tried installing that package from CPAN but from outside of the
sage shell? Since we use the system's perl, we should probably also
install the packages system-wide. On my Ubuntu machine, the configure
script complains about the following missing perl modules:
{{{
XML::Writer XML::LibXML XML::LibXSLT Term::ReadLine::Gnu
}}}
Since polymake remains an optional package, maybe we can just require
users to install these from CPAN themselves? I don't feel like adding
sage's own personal perl package manager to the spkg system...
As for the {{{ReadLine}}} package, we may not need it if Sage is going to
use polymake through its shared library interface, like what I'm trying to
do in #14116. My guess is that polymake only uses {{{ReadLine}}} for its
command line interface.
