The default +and recommended Markdown implementation in ikiwiki is Discount, which already +supports many of the same extensions as multimarkdown (in released versions of ikiwiki, +footnotes are a notable omission, but those will be enabled by default in the +next release). + +If you want to use multimarkdown anyway, please check what the search path is +for the version of Perl that you are using to run ikiwiki. In particular, the +most reliable setup is likely to be one where you get Perl, Text::MultiMarkdown +and IkiWiki from the same vendor (for example Homebrew or pkgsrc) without +mixing those vendors. + +If you obtained one of those packages (for example ikiwiki) by building it +yourself from source code, its author is unlikely to be able to help you +unless they happen to be a macOS user themselves, which most of the ikiwiki +contributors are not. If you are doing this, you should make sure you +understand how Perl finds libraries (for example this is described in +the perlrun man page).
