Hello everybody,

I just tried installing "Test" with CPAN and got:

Making, testing and installing Test ..

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Test
sh: line 1: make: command not found

Installation of Test failed. Check the output above and try installing manually.
You can also install the module from CPAN with the command perl -MCPAN -e shell.

It seems that I cannot install any Perl modules.

Does anybody have any advice?

Kind regards

PS: It's been a while since I was last here:
" There have been 386,249 threads and 1,926,414 posts since your last visit."
Crikey! Well, it has been just under 3 years!

sh: line 1: make: command not found

I can't remember the perl environment very well. I do recall CPAN.
Looks to me like you need to install some developer tools first though...

Can you 'make' anything? Like in a C environment?

First guess, I think the C development tools will work...
If you have the original RH9 CD, they should be there under development tools.

HTH,
alar

BTW: Where have you been the last three years

In the words of the late great Johnny Cash: "I've been everywhere" ... at least it seems that way.



I used apt-get to make sure that C was on my system and even installed awstats while I was there which put some more Perl stuff on while it was at it. Went back to install Test again and still got:
sh: line 1: make: command not found

Interestingly, when I now go to http://84.244.15.183/doughty/multibl...e/mt-check.cgi I get a 403 Forbidden message despite the files being 755 permissions.

Quick check

type
which make

Hi Alar,

Thanks for your help. I typed "which make" and got:

[root@serv-4-15-183 root]# which make
/usr/bin/which: no make in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)

I presume that this message means I need to install something, but I do not know what :-S

Ah... It looks like I needed to do:

apt-get install make

and this has installed Make, so am going to try again with those modules.

Success! It appears to be working.

Welcome back.

Don't wait so long next time
