Ok, I went back to basics and tried to install LMS 7.9.2-1 to CentOS 8

Fresh install of CentOS 8.1 as virtual machine.  Small webserver, no
GUI.  Apply all updates.

Then
# wget
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.9.2/logitechmediaserver-7.9.2-1.noarch.rpm
# dnf localinstall ./logitechmediaserver-7.9.2-1.noarch.rpm
Automatically installs many required perl modules as expected.

Disable firewalld.service to ensure no unwanted dropped packets.  Stir
and sweeten to taste and local conditions.

# systemctl start logitechmediaserver.service

Cannot start LMS.  From the logs :

Feb 22 13:14:33 localhost systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Startup script for

Located the bootstrap.pm in
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim/bootstrap.pm

So made a symlink as
# ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim

LogitechMediaServer now working as intended.  :-)

Please, for any next time/s, is there a-better-way (tm) to do this ?
And big thanks to the forum for all the helps.

Edit.  How do I add [SOLVED] to the original topic heading ?  TIA's
