Re: Big troubles with LWP installation

[Ted Zeng]

Find where CPAn download the source to.
Go to that directory and type
sudo make install
It should do it for you.  If there are more than one module,
you will need to go to each directory to do this.

I read somewhere that this problem is documented.
I could not install any module automatically, had the same problem as
you did.

Quoting David Jantzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I had problems installing LWP and numerous other Perl modules with C
components until I upgraded to XCode 1.5. You can download it at Apple
Developer Connection.

I have spent hours trying to install LWP on my Powerbook. I have

unix/ perl, etc I am now completely lost.

The first thing I try is
sudo perl -MCPAN -eshell

then
 cpan>install LWP

This goes for a while then ends badly as below,
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for URI

Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Running make for G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.803.tar.gz
  Is already unwrapped into directory

    -- NOT OK
Running make test

Running make install

So alternatively I do it from the prompt line as one line;
sudo  perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::install LWP'

and again its all tragic
