Installing perl module

Toadman · 12-28-2008, 08:22 PM

I've just finished a complete install of 2009 Free from 10.1, what a difference, however there are some issues. Installing the perl modules I have missing via webmin is one of them. For instance I keep getting this:

Executing /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL && make ..

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Bundle::CPAN
sh: make: command not found

I notice that under 10.1 I had a cpan folder in /home however there isn't one in 2009. I'm apparently missing a module but I can't figure out which one. Webmin version is 1.420.

Thanks for any help.

The livecds are nice but they don't include a lot of packages that were installed standard in the old days. And that includes the "make" package, believe it or not. First, set up your internet repos using EasyUrpmi:

http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

Then try running as root:

# urpmi make

I ran into the same thing after installing mdv 2009 from the livecd and had to install "make" before I could install a driver for my wireless card that needed to run a makefile to install. That's when I discovered that the make package was not installed.

Thanks much, appreciate it. My 10.1 was the power pack though I know 2009 Free didn't have as much I didn't expect it to be this slim. Works now.
