perlquestion WalkingZero Hello Monks, I was trying to install [mod://Net::Libdnet] from the CPAN Shell and it's giving me problems. From what i can tell this seems to be due to the fact that, in Ubuntu, Libdnet has been renamed to Libdumnet so as not to conflict with the DECnet library. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this problem and/or could give me advice on correcting it. I can include the output when trying to install the module if it is requested, but I don't wish to flood the thread if I don't need to. Thank you. <br><br> UPDATE: Okay, I should have known better so here's the Output <readmore> <code> cpan> install Net::Libdnet Running install for module Net::Libdnet Running make for V/VM/VMAN/Net-Libdnet-0.01.tar.gz Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/V/VM/VMAN/Net-Libdnet-0.01.tar.gz ok Net-Libdnet-0.01/ Net-Libdnet-0.01/Changes Net-Libdnet-0.01/LICENSE Net-Libdnet-0.01/Libdnet.pm Net-Libdnet-0.01/Libdnet.xs Net-Libdnet-0.01/MANIFEST Net-Libdnet-0.01/Makefile.PL Net-Libdnet-0.01/README Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/ Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/01-module.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/02-addr.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/03-arp.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/04-blob.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/05-eth.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/06-fw.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/07-intf.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/08-ip.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/09-rand.t Net-Libdnet-0.01/t/10-route.t Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/Net-Libdnet-0.01 CPAN.pm: Going to build V/VM/VMAN/Net-Libdnet-0.01.tar.gz Checking if your kit is complete...
