The error messages below aren't helpful, they just say that there were error messages in a previous run. In the CPAN shell, do 'clean Math::Pari' and then 'test Math::Pari' to see the real error messages.

This may look lame, but I am new enough to lack even rudimentary troubleshooting (besides installing modules when an error says "can't find Module X". The error I get when followign your prescription is:
[looking good up to ...]
Getting GP/PARI from ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unix/
Cannot list (): at utils/Math/PariBuild.pm line 167, <> line 1.
Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test

I still don't understand your message - what do you mean "[looking good up to ...]"?

Sorry, the output from the command to test follows.
Many thanks for looking,
Chris

Did not find GP/PARI build directory around.
Do you want to me to fetch GP/PARI automatically?
(If you do not, you will need to fetch it manually, and/or direct me to
the directory with GP/PARI source via the command-line option paridir=/dir)
Make sure you have a large scrollback buffer to see the messages.
Fetch? (y/n, press Enter) y
