Try it from outside the CPAN shell. The CPAN shell does nothing but wrap the usual incantation: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install I do not expect that this will work better but it makes it more obvious where you have to tweak things: with parameters to 'perl Makefile.PL'. You will find the ExtUtils::MakeMaker documentation indispensable. When your default compiler is not the right one you will most probably need more than one such parameter. For a start I'd try perl Makefile.PL CC=yourcc Good luck, -- andreas
