vinoth.ree has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi

I tried to install Tk module by cpan, I got the following error message as,

Cannot find X include files via /usr/include
Cannot find X include files anywhere.
You probably need to install the X11 development package first.
On Debian Linux, these are the packages libx11-dev and x-dev.
Please see README.linux for more information.
No 'Makefile' created  SREZIC/Tk-804.029.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, won't install
Failed during this command:
 SREZIC/Tk-804.029.tar.gz                     : writemakefile NO -- No 'Makefile' created
 

I installed the libx11-dev and x-dev debian package from lenny installation CD

I tried to reinstall the Tk module as 'install Tk', but it said error as

cpan8> install Tk
Running install for module 'Tk'
Running make for S/SR/SREZIC/Tk-804.029.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/Tk-804.029-4hdpeo
  No 'Makefile' created
, won't make
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, won't install
 

Could you please tell me how to solve this problem?

    Looks like you're still in the same cpan session in which the Tk installation failed. Exit the cpan session, then do a cpan Tk. I'm sure this is also available via apt-get: apt-get install perl-tk, since you seem to be trying to install to the system perl. See Re: LWP::UserAgent @ Ubuntu 8.04 64-Bit for advice.

      Thanks you!
