CPAN: Term::ANSIColor loaded ok (v1.10) CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9708) CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.16) Going to read /usr/local/src/CPAN/Metadata Database was generated on Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:32:28 GMT You are visiting the local directory '/.' without lock, take care that concurrent processes do not do likewise. CPAN: YAML::Syck loaded ok (v1.04) CPAN: CPAN::Kwalify loaded ok (v5.401418) CPAN: Kwalify loaded ok (v1.14) Running make for /. Package seems to come without Makefile.PL. (The test -f "/Makefile.PL" returned false.) Writing one on our own (setting NAME to unknown) Could not open >/Makefile.PL: Permission denied at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN.pm line 3536 Exitcode 13 (Yes, from looking at the truss output it really tries to write to the root directory) Regards, Slaven
