This happened to me, too, today. It happens when using CPAN config variable 'make_install_arg' set to '-j3' on my dual-core system. Unsetting this using 'o conf make_install_arg ""' is a good work-around. On Tue Oct 19 21:14:21 2010, XENO wrote: Show quoted text

I get the install error, via cpanm, when I have my bash env var MAKEFLAGS=-j5. "unset MAKEFLAGS" fixes the problem. On Fri Nov 29 12:28:09 2013, http://dmaestro12.myopenid.com/ wrote: Show quoted text

The correct fix is, in the Makefile.PL, to change this: install_sax_pureperl : to: install_sax_pureperl : pure_install This is because the problem is an incorrectly expressed dependency chain, so the "pure perl" target tries to be fulfilled before all the things it needs have happened.
