CPAN install problem

[zackiv31]

under CPAN, I do an

install Tk

At the end I get error message..

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 38.
Running make test
Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, won't install
Failed during this command:
NI-S/Tk-804.027.tar.gz : writemakefile NO '/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL' returned status 512


Can anyone help me?

Maybe important install info:

Cannot find X include files via /include
Cannot find X include files anywhere at ./myConfig line 332.
Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 36.

Sounds like it wants to know the path to your X window system include files, but cannot find them. You may have to modify myConfig to specify the correct path to the files.

 

[zackiv31]

Where is this file?

 

[raklet]

Don't know. Search your system for it. You may have to open Makefile.PL and see what is written at line 36 as well.

 

[zackiv31]

I do a search and I cannot find either of those files... can anyone else point me in the right direction?

Try PPM

I got a version from

http://www.cpan.org

that has a ppd file, and when I tried to install...

C:\Utils\Date-Calc-5.4>ppm install Date-Calc.ppd
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provide Bit-Vector for Date-Calc

Now looking for Bit-Vector with ppd file...
