This might be better off on a Mandrake list, but I was hoping for an
answer here (esp. since I'm already subscribed here :-)
I tried to install Getopt:Simple via CPAN on my new Mandrake 9.2 box.
I get this
Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source
code.
It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location
before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not
contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a
case,
please build and install your perl from a fresh perl
distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.
(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find
"/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h")
As the note indicates - there is no perl.h in the indicated directory
(but the directory is there)
Do I really have to reinstall perl? It works and is in /usr/bin
which seems normal to me....
