Hi I'm trying to install SA 3.30 on W2k8 64-bit. I have ActivePerl 5.10.1 with dmake 4.12 (since nmake won't run on 64-bit). I am quite new to this so sorry if I'm asking something stupidly obvious.
I've installed Net-DNS, IP-Country, Mail-SPF, Error, XML::Writer and NetAddr-IP. Creating the makefile seems to go OK Dmake seems to work OK. However, when I issue dmake install, it gets so far through the process, says "Installing <module>" but then exits with an error: ... snip ...
