cPan install problems

Hello all, I could really use some help.
I have a redhat enterprise server that has just been installed from disk and never updated. i am trying to run BackupPc which is a perl frontend for rsync.

I am following this tutorial
My problem comes when i try to install some cpan modules, i run:
cpan
install Compress::Zlib Archive::Zip File::RsyncP
I get a slew of messages but the important ones seem to be
Code:
make[1]: *** [Digest.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/.cpan/build/File-RsyncP-0.52/Digest'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
  /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 have never managed to complie anything on this machine. I have gcc 3.2.3 installed and if i run gcc -v i get
Code:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)
I think there is a simple answer to get the complier running but i don't know enough about linux to know where to start.

i would be a very happy lad if someone can shed some light on the situation.

The import messages will be slightly higher up than what you posted - it will probably ssay something about a missing file.

This is a displayed when i load cpan
Code:
Undefined value assigned to typeglob at (eval 13) line 15, <RC> line 11.
Warning [/etc/inputrc line 11]:
  Invalid variable `mark-symlinked-directories'
 
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.76)
ReadLine support enabled
 
Can't ioctl TIOCGETP: Invalid argument
Consider installing Term::ReadKey from CPAN site nearby
        at http://www.perl.com/CPAN
Or use
        perl -MCPAN -e shell
to reach CPAN. Falling back to 'stty'.
        If you do not want to see this warning, set PERL_READLINE_NOWARN
in your environment.

Can you clean your build directory then try the install again and post the results:
rm -f /root/.cpan/build/*

Ah i think i have been down this road, got confused and ran back.
I am running redhat enterprise and it's pretty much a fresh install

Is there a rpm i can use or do you know of a tutorial install guide. I tried to make sense of http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ but it's all a bit beyond me

if you have a subscription for your ES setup you can do 'up2date glibc-devel' to install it, there should also be a rpm on your install media somewhere....

this is a test/development server so i don't have a subscription. I do have a subscription for our live main server but i want to get everything working 100% on my test system before even trying anything on our live server.

i'll have a look on my install CD. thanks

It will stop eventually, this is why I usually reccomend to people that they just install all of the development libraries unless they are setting up a minimal system.

is there a single install with all the development libraries? Can it be done off the original install CD. That would make my life much easier

You can install them from the original CDs, you should be able to start the package tool used during setup to choose the development packages.
