CPAN install failure

Hi all,
I'm not very familiar with CPAN but I am using it to get my dependencies in order for maia mailguard. The library that is giving me problems is Convert::UUlib. Here is tail end of the output when I attempt to install with CPAN:

Code:

cd uulib && /usr/bin/make all
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/.cpan/build/Convert-UUlib-1.06/uulib'
cc -c -O2  -fPIC -I.  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DVERSION=\"0.5\" -DPATCH=\"20\" uulib.c
In file included from uulib.c:81:

  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

I currently have Convert::UUlib 1.051 installed but maia recommends 1.06. I'm going to forge ahead without it but it would be nice to get this solved. Thanks for any advice.

I had the same issue on a Debian Sarge (mixed) system that was using a 'testing' version of libc6. I solved it by upgrading the gcc-3.3 compiler to a testing version:
apt-get -t testing install gcc-3.3

Which upgraded:
binutils cpp-3.3 g++-3.3 gcc-3.3 gcc-3.3-base libstdc++5 libstdc++5-3.3-dev

YMMV
