Cody Pendant has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Can someone diagnose what's going on here, when I try to install Image::Magick using Strawberry Perl and CPAN?
Writing Makefile for Image::Magick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ERROR: Cannot copy 'Magick.pm' to 'blib\lib\Image\Magick.pm': No such file or directory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at -e line 1 dmake.EXE: Error code 130, while making 'pm_to_blib' JCRISTY/PerlMagick-6.32.tar.gz C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: JCRISTY/PerlMagick-6.32.tar.gz : make NO

Some modules have installed just fine, others have this error message.

Is it about permissions? Is it because it doesn't know what to do with tar.gz files? I'm not used to using CPAN on Windows having used ActivePerl all these years.



Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more
kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...
