Thanks Rob, That does make sense, unfortunately, I get a similar error installing Tk, Here is my entire command for that: cpan[1]> install Tk Running install for module 'Tk' Running make for S/SR/SREZIC/Tk-804.028.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/Tk-804.028-r9jDlm '/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site' returned status 512, won't make Running make test Make had some problems, won't test Running make install Make had some problems, won't install It seems like a related problem, Did I do this right? thanks Rick -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Green Mountain Network, and is believed to be clean. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
