This is not exactly a perl code question but I'm sure one of you can spot
the problem.
I'm trying to build and install DataTime.pm. I've satisfied all the
prerequisites, as far as I can tell, but still get the following errors when
I run 'perl Makefile.PL'
----------------------------------------------------
Testing if you have a C compiler
make: *** No rule to make target `testub'. Stop.
I cannot determine if you have a C compiler
so I will install a perl-only implementation
You can force installation of the XS version with
perl Makefile.PL --xs
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program. Please make sure,
your pod2man program is in your PATH before you execute 'make'
Writing Makefile for DateTime
----------------------------------------------------
I do, indeed, have a compiler, gcc, which has a symlink of cc. Also,
pod2man is in my PATH, /usr/bin/pod2man to be precise. /usr/bin/ is in my
PATH.
If I ignore these errors and go ahead and run 'make' I get this error:
-----------------------------------------------------
Makefile:98: *** missing separator. Stop.
-----------------------------------------------------
Here're lines 96-100 of the makefile:
-----------------------------------------------------
installhtml1dir=''
installhtml3dir=''
installman1
INSTALLSITEBIN = /usr
INSTALLVENDORBIN = /usr/bin'
installvendorhtml1=''
installvendorhtml3=''
------------------------------------------------------
My Question is:
What am I doing wrong or what can I do to remedy these problems and get
DateTime installed?
System:
RH Linux 9.0 I686
Perl 5.8
gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
DateTime-0.19 from cpan
thanks,
Jeremy
