I am running Perl v5.8.0 on OS X 2.6 and using tcsh as my shell. I have used cpan to successfully install several modules; however, for some modules (e.g., Tk, & PDL) I encounter what seems to be a shell related problem. At the point where the Makefiles start executing and there is an attempt to change to a subdirectory I get the following fatal error (this one was for PDL):
/bin/sh: cd: Basic: No such file or directory make: *** [subdirs] 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
What seems to be happening is that the "cd" command doesn't work within the Makefile. I can execute "cd Basic" manually then type "make" and it works fine. I know that "cd" is a built-in shell command as opposed to "awk," for example, which is an executable at /usr/bin/awk. Does anyone know how to fix this? The strange thing is that when I was using Perl 5.6 I had no problem installing PDL and Tk. Thanks for any help with this.
