in thread Module Install Troubles

Can't exec "/home/sgriffith/unix/bin/make": No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN.pm line 4566.

This looks like your CPAN.pm configuration has a bad value for the make value:

cpan> o conf make make /usr/bin/make

In the cpan shell you can set a new value with o conf make newvalue, and you'll want to o conf commit to save the new value.

    OK, here I think the problem was that I didn't have an entry for make install, but just for make in the cpan MyConfig.pm file.

    I've fixed that, and it progressed to test errors in Test::Exception. I've since switched back to the system make.
