Re^6: Par::Packer, include conf files or not ?

[HJO]

I used basically the same, but then I got a lot of dependencies and one of them got make install errors (Compress::Raw::Zlib) :

  CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.056.tar.gz

And every one of the make test of the others modules had errors(related to the absence of Compress::Raw::Zlib.pm) So in the end, when the "installation" finished, I typed pp -h and got :

gcc: command not found

Does the system you're running on have gcc installed?

[HJO]

 rpm -q gcc
package gcc is not installed

No it isn't, I guess I should install it then retry the installation of Compress::Raw::Zlib ?

[marto]

install gcc, then try and install pp again using the cpan command, which will in turn install dependencies. It's worth while actually reading the output of the build process, as (more often than not) it tells you what is wrong.
