Subject: instlallation problems : Makefile:87: *** missing separator. Stop.
Hi when I do perl Makefile.PL [root@localhost Getopt-Long-2.35]# perl Makefile.PL WARNING: Getopt::Long needs the module Pod::Usage for its built-in help facility. Pod::Usage seems not to be installed on this system. That is not a problem as long as the new help facility is not used. However, please consider installing Pod::Usage from CPAN as soon as convenient. Warning: prerequisite Pod::Usage 1.14 not found. We have unknown version. Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program. Please make sure, your pod2man program is in your PATH before you execute 'make' Writing Makefile for Getopt::Long [root@localhost Getopt-Long-2.35]# make Makefile:87: *** missing separator. Stop. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance -Khan.

Looking at the Makefile something's terribly wrong. I see parts of different files intermixed with the make commands. Some theories: - A disk error (hardware). In this case it should not be reproducible. I assume you have tried multiple times? - An error in one of Perl's config files? In this case, trying to install another CPAN module using MakeMaker would also fail. Things you can try: upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to a more recent version. In any case, it is not related to Getopt::Long or the Getopt::Long distribution. This means that I cannot do anything about this problem. I hope this helps. -- Johan
