Read your INSTALL file (or look at it on CPAN): http://search.cpan.org/src/NI-S/Tk-800.024/INSTALL You have to find the x-includes on your system and specify them for your make. (If you can't find them check with your sysadmin, I know you can get them online but I haven't done that becaude they appear magically for me on my SuSE distro). I'm not sure how to specify parameters in the CPAN shell, but you can always: -download to some location- tar vxzf Tk....etc.....tar.gz -go to extracted dir- perl Makefile.PL ...parameters as specified in INSTALL... make make test make install I almost *always* use this old-style config/make/install sequence - rather than the CPAN shell - because I feel like I have more control of the process and I can read the README, INSTALL, etc. files before starting.
