Ok, now I have no idea what I am doing, but I am trying to install some
CPAN perl modules (for another project) and I hit a snag, so I am hoping
there is a perl expert out there that can put me back on the rails.
I used the command line:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
to try and install the following library -
Compress::Zlib
but I get the following error:
cpan> install Compress::Zlib
Running install for module Compress::Zlib
Running make for P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-1.16.tar.gz
Is already unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/Compress-Zlib-1.16
CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-1.16.tar.gz
Parsing config.in...
Looks Good.
Up/Downgrade complete.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Compress::Zlib
cp Zlib.pm blib/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm

/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
It tells me it is missing zlib.h, which I would expect to be part of the
archive.
Has anyone else had any experience with this and can offer some advice. I
am not a perl expert and this is the first time I have used the CPAN stuff
- so go easy on me.
