Hello Monks,

My first thought when I see these kind of errors is "XS" modules. Although most of Catalyst is pure Perl it does require some XS modules which means you need to have a C compiler in the path. See Installing Catalyst for full instructions.	[reply]

hi, I'm having similar problems, but I solved the (Do you need to predeclare with?) by installing the dependencies. try installing the MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable. now I'm having the Array found where operator expected at /home/user/.cpan/build/Catalyst-Runtime-5.90007-FQ0c2I/blib/lib/Catalyst/Controller.pm line 215, at end of line (Missing operator before ?)

It look like Catalyst::Controller is failing. I'm trying to install and having the same problems using Ubuntu 10.04 with the Perl that comes with it. I've done this many times before without an issue `t/aggregate/c3_appclass_bug.t ........................................ +.
