The makefile is written with a hard-coded use of a binary called gcc-4. This does not exist on my system causing the following error when trying to install this module. Show quoted text

If gcc 4 is really is required then a check that you have/are using gcc 4 should be done in some other part of this funky build system. My opinion is it should be a check against gcc --version or a cpp check that __GCC_MAJOR__ is greater than 3

There is no compiler hardcoded in modules like MIME-Base64.  The "gcc-4" must come from the compiler that your perl was built with.  See 'perl -V' for info about how your perl is built/configured.

If you don't have this compiler, I suggest you recompile perl (or grab a pre-built version like ActivePerl).
