Check if you have cpan configured to use 'your' make.

sudo perl -MCPAN -eshell
 ...

cpan[1]> o conf
[download]

and check if you have something like

make [/usr/bin/make]

After a little bit goooogling I found this `http://sial.org/howto/perl/life-with-cpan/` [download] and I wrote `sudo perl -MCPAN -eshell cpan> o conf make /usr/bin/make cpan> o conf commit` [download] And after this EVERYTHING SEEMS TO WORK FINE, and cpan is also working!! Great! For example installing Getopt::Long works fine `cpan> install Getop::Long ---snip--- /usr/bin/make test -- OK Running make install Manifying blib/man3/Getopt::Long.3pm Installing /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/newgetopt.pl Installing /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/Getopt/Long.pm Installing /usr/share/man/man3/Getopt::Long.3pm Writing /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Get +opt/Long/.packlist Appending installation info to /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-threa +d-multi-2level/perllocal.pod /usr/bin/make install -- OK` [download] Thanks!

Thanks, it seems that there is no configuration for make `---snip--- keep_source_where /Users/larus/.cpan/sources lynx make make_arg make_install_arg makepl_arg ncftp ncftpget no_proxy pager /usr/bin/less prerequisites_policy ask scan_cache atstart shell /bin/bash tar /usr/bin/tar term_is_latin 1 unzip /usr/bin/unzip urllist wget ---snip---` [download] How should I configure it? Thank you for your help.	[reply] [d/l]
