I feel like nobody's listening... Look at your 'tar', 'unzip', 'lynx', and 'gzip' entries. They don't actually include the name of the program. Here are the equivalent ones from my config: 'gzip' = q[/usr/bin/gzip], 'lynx' = q[], 'tar' = q[/usr/bin/tar], 'unzip' = q[/usr/bin/unzip],

That's strange. I ran CPAN with sudo perl -MCPAN etc etc and everything worked fine. But here's another question: why did it work w/ sudo but not as root (su)? --jm PS. Thanks Tommy On Jun 8, 2005, at 5:01 PM, Tommy Nordgren wrote: Jun 8, 2005 kl. 10:14 PM skrev John Mercer: Hi all,

Hi John, The permissions thing is a red herring. Look more closely at the error message. It's trying to run a program called /usr/bin. Look at your CPAN configuration (o conf in the CPAN shell) to figure out why. -Ken On Jun 8, 2005, at 3:14 PM, John Mercer wrote: Hi all, CPAN is
