Hi, I am getting somewhere. I used setup and installed needed executables such as gcc. Did a force install in cpan for LWP modules and it seemed to be go great. All tests were successful in make test. But when running make install I got the error:
"Cannot forceunlink /usr/bin/HEAD: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/File/Find.pm line 873. make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 255 /usr/bin/make install -- NOT OK. The Find.pm line in question is: { $wanted_callback->() }; # protect against wild "next" Any idea what is going wrong, or is the question better posed to a perl forum? Any help appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.

That's strange. Which module is not found? Since you have installed it, where is it? What is your @INC? You can see your @INC with perl -wle 'print for @INC' >With HTML::Parser it couldn't run gcc because it was not found. Then you must install it. :-) Run setup.exe and install gcc. >How do you use CPAN under cygwin? perldoc cpan To fire up the cpan shell, just type, at the cygwin shell cpan >Is there a web page that outlines how to configure CPAN for >cygwin, is that what is needed? I found it to be quite straight forward. Please be specific and tell where you run into problems. >Are others having problems and how did you fix them. We'll take one thing at a time. I've used the cpan shell a lot, but I need some more information about where you run into problems. >I successfully install some and have force installed others and >notice that if you do a perldoc perllocal you only get the first >three modules listed, whereas if you do a more on the perllocal >file, you see a lot more listed. What's up with that, can anyonw >explain? I have never used "perldoc perllocal" to see what modules I have installed, so at this point I can't tell you what is wrong. Peter -- Peter J.
