I'm trying to install the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module. I downloaded the .tar.Z file and unpacked it, and started with the commmand "perl Makefile.PL". Here's what I got:
kim% perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: prerequisite Parse::RecDescent 0 not found.
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 "/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/perl.h")
This is the stock perl install from Panther, and I'm up to date. I did find the
perl.h file in /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/perl.h, so it exists, but
the .PL script looks for it in a different place evidently. Is there a simple
fix for this, or will I have to do a whole new install of Perl?
It looks like there are some other prereqs I need to install, I realize.
But I bet properly locating perl.h is fundamental for all module installs...
Thanks for any help....
