Known Issues - Squish 6.6.2 Release¶
Release Date: November 17th, 2020
Recommended Update: Squish 6.7
All Editions¶
Squish IDE: On systems based on RHEL 8 and newer (as well as on derived distributions, e.g. Fedora, CentOS) the following error message may appear when the IDE is started:
To operate correctly, EPIC requires a Perl interpreter. Check your configuration settings("Window/Preferences/Perl") Reason: The executable specified in Perl Preferences does not appear to be a valid Perl interpreter
And executing the Perl executable configured there in a shell results in:
.../bin/squishperl: error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Workaround 1: install the
libnsl
package, e.g. by runningdnf install libnsl
Workaround 2: in the Squish IDE, click Edit -> Preferences to open the preference dialog. Then, click 'Perl' on the left hand side and enter the path to the Perl interpreter installed on the system. This is typically something like
/usr/bin/perl
.
