They have given you all you need to run perl scripts, but not enough to build a perl extension. Install a *complete* perl (eg Activestate Perl ... or build and install your own perl) and we might be able to get somewhere. I get the same error if I remove my lib/CORE folder: -------------------------------------------------------------- D:\comp58_M\Math-FFT-1.28>perl makefile.pl Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good 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 "D:\perl58_M\5.8.7\lib\CORE\perl.h") ------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers, Rob
