CPAN endless loop when updating HTML-Parser

Car54 · 06-15-2008, 08:40 PM

I'm very new in linux and I'm having a simular problem with CPAN and it goes into an endless loop with most of the same error messages when it's updating HTML-Parser-3.56.tar.gz.

I'm running on CentOS 3.9 with gcc-3.2.3-59 and gcc-c++-3.2.3-59, and perl version 5.8.0

When you say... "For some reason I thought make was installed along with gcc and libc6-dev." Can you tell me exactly what is missing and what exactly I need? Please excuse my inexperience with linux.

Thanks,
Car54

There's a first for everything

Unfortunately, you're in the wrong place. CentOS is not based on Debian, so try the general Linux-distro forum: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...stributions-5/ (there is no specific CentOS forum on LQ) It's based on Red Hat Enterprise editions, so perhaps the Red Hat forum might help you further. Or try CentOS support themselves: http://www.centos.org/

Moved: parts of the original thread are more suitable in the Linux Distributions forum and have been moved there as thread to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.
