Installing Perl Modules on Solaris 8

[dshaw21369]

Has anyone installed a Perl Module before? Is a C compiler always required. Im trying to Install MIME: LITE and during installation I noticed that the make program is not anywhere to be found on our Solairs 8 box. What are the steps that needs to be taken for our Administrator to install this module with the least frustration as possible?

Thanks!!!!!

Try /usr/ccs/bin/make. Annihilannic.

You installed the program from source code. You will need the C compiler to compile the program to binary.I installed Perl before.I didn't have any problem.
Good Luck

install gcc compiler which is available (free) on sunfreeware site ...

After installation change the link for cc like that:

root@atlanta # which cc
/usr/bin/cc
root@atlanta # ls -l /usr/bin/cc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 18 Sep 23 11:23 /usr/bin/cc -> /usr/local/bin/gcc
root@atlanta #

Have a nice day
