File EXTERN.h missingby CountZero (Bishop) |

CountZero has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Dear Fellow Monks! I recently "recycled" an old computer and put Linux Mandrake 10.2 on it. It works well and even had a recent Perl on it. When installing some modules from CPAN, they failed to be installed since the file EXTERN.h could not be found (it is a file needed to compile XS-modules it seems). I searched the whole installation but nowhere is this file to be found. Does anybody of you know what this file is and where I can get it? Update: Thanks for all the helpful answers (++ to you all). I found EXTERN.h on my windows system and it looks as it is written in a system-independent way, so I will try to copy it over to my Linux system. If that doesn't work I will have to install a devel version of Perl. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law
