Hi;

I'm running Fedora Core 5 on a Dell Inspiron 600m, 1.4 GHz Centrino, 512 MB RAM. Recently when I compile from source, I always seem to be getting errors like this one:

[mike@localhost ksmoothdock]$ make
cd . && make -f admin/Makefile.common configure.in ;

I searched the net, and I also checked to see if I had perl installed, and I do have it installed. I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I tried using YUM to maybe uninstall perl and reinstall, but when I did the transaction test, YUM wanted to remove just about all the packages on my computer because of perl dependencies. I appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Mike
