error in perl 5.12.1

I have an error while running make test in perl 5.12.1 6.33.1 The error reports a problem with cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib, Warning no makefile? No rule to make target config. Now dose this mean that there is a problem with the 1st part when making perl? or is the problem with the zlib package 6.11.1? I have uninstalled perl and retried again same error, or would it be safe to just redo zlib package again and leave the packages inbetween zlib and perl? Or should I redo all packages from zlib again?

Are you talking about make test for python itself, or a seperate module or program within cpan? If it is something you are trying to install in cpan, you can always download the source of the package on the cpan site.

I have fixed error in Perl build. I redone Zlib section 6.11 then redone Perl section 6.33. I dont know if I mis typed in "Zlib" or mis typed in "Perl". Prehaps someone could put me straight, In the perl section of book 6.7

Code:

sed -i -e "s|BUILD_ZLIB\s*= True|BUILD_ZLIB = False|"            \
       -e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE     = /usr/include|" \
       -e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB         = /usr/lib|"         \
    cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in

Code:

sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr \
                  -Dvendorprefix=/usr           \
                  -Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \
                  -Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \
                  -Dpager="/usr/bin/less -isR"  \
                  -Duseshrplib

Do the gaps in the code which are about 4 spaces are these important? I would like to know incase this is where my mistakes where

Hi,

Nope, those spaces are not important, they are there for readability. The following 2 examples are the same:

Code:

sed -i -e "s|BUILD_ZLIB\s*= True|BUILD_ZLIB = False|"            \
       -e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE     = /usr/include|" \
       -e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB         = /usr/lib|"         \
    cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in

and

Code:

sed -i -e "s|BUILD_ZLIB\s*= True|BUILD_ZLIB = False|" \
-e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE     = /usr/include|" \
-e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB         = /usr/lib|" \
cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in

The spaces inside the sed command _are_ important!

Code:

Correct:
-e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB         = /usr/lib|"

Not correct:
-e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB = /usr/lib|"

If at all possible you should copy and paste these larger commands.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

Thanks for pointing that out, I do have problem with copy/paste as I cant get usb to mount, also the less command is not working yet
