Subject: DateTime does not install
Distribution name : DateTime-0.12 Perl Version : v5.8.0 built for i686-linux OS : Linux RedHat 9.0, 2.4.20-8smp Symptoms: When trying to install the module by cpan I get the following error message: [...] DateTime-0.12/README Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/DateTime-0.12 CPAN.pm: Going to build D/DR/DROLSKY/DateTime-0.12.tar.gz Testing if you have a C compiler make: *** No rule to make target `testub'. Stop. I cannot determine if you have a C compiler so I will install a perl-only implementation You can force installation of the XS version with perl Makefile.PL --xs Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good 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 DateTime Makefile:98: *** missing separator. Stop. /usr/bin/gmake -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

I'm guessing you have a broken or incomplete Perl installation. Can you install _any_ XS module from CPAN? I'm guessing your Config.pm module references a non-existent compiler, and I'm not sure where gmake is coming from. But that's RedHat for you. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
