Why are you asking this on a Fink list? Just because of the known competence of the participants of the list :-) or do you somehow think that using CPAN package management must have something to do with Fink package management? Installing perl modules directly may even - as anything installed into /usr/local - interfere with the correct working of Fink. Why don't you just fink install sgmls-pm ? >> Package comes with a Makefile and without a Makefile.PL. >> We'll try to build it with that Makefile then. >> >> CPAN.pm: Going to build D/DM/DMEGG/SGMLSpm-1.03ii.tar.gz >> >> if [ ! -d /usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS ]; then\ >> mkdir /usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS; \ >> chmod a+x /usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS; \ >> fi >> mkdir: /usr/local/lib/perl5: No such file or directory >> chmod: /usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS: No such file or directory >> make: *** [/usr/local/lib/perl5/SGMLS] Error 1 >> /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 There does not seem to be anything related to Fink here. You are using Apple's perl that comes with the system, and the CPAN method of installing perl modules. If the latter does not work, you should try to look at its documentation. Having said this, personally I would create that missing directory /usr/local/lib/perl5 and then see if this solves the problem. sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/perl5 Their Makefile should have used the '-p' flag to mkdir, too, I'd say. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
