| Subject: | UUID Won't Install on Centos 6.0 |
I need to automate control of VMs via vSphere. UUID.pm is a required
module for VMWare SDK's installation script, but it fails to install
UUID.pm. I'm not good with C/XS, but I tried downloading uuid-dev and a
tarball of the uuid source with no luck.
Our host is a 64-bit Centos 6.0 server. We're running perl 5.14.
A fix would be greatly appreciated, as would a workaround in the meantime.
# Here's the error:

Enter 'h' for help.
