Hmm some strange things here... What does perl -V:make tell you? Should be something like make='nmake'; I found some references to MinGW, do you need it for any reason or would it be possible to uninstall it? -- View this message in context:

Daniel - thanks so much for your help. Now all working. Our e-marketing platform is now correctly processing SA (hence no need for spamc). Cheers. Daniel Lemke wrote: Nice to hear that ;) You won't need a C compiler unless you want to build spamc. If you want to, safest way to do is

I didn't try to make spamc with mine. If you're doing that, it is possible that there could be a configuration situation that prevents it. I'm not sure why else it would fail. For the few items I had to manually compile and install I used Visual Studio 2008 Express. Bret On 3/22/2010 10:40
