Look at the error you get, specifically Libdnet.xs:35:18: error: dnet.h: No such file or directory. Looking at the contents of libdumbnet-dev (via "dpkg -L libdumbnet-dev") one can see that it does indeed not include dnet.h, but it _does_ include dumbnet.h. Replacing dnet.h with dumbnet.h in Libdnet.xs, and -ldnet with -ldumbnet in Makefile.PL makes the module successfully compile and pass tests on my machine (Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon). Incidentally, there is a bug report on rt.cpan.org which shows someone else had the same issue. If these changes fix the compile for you then you could add this to the bug report to help others who may have the same problem


All dogma is stupid.

    You, sir, are the kind of person that makes the Monastery a wonderful place. Not only did you assist me, but you also educated me a little bit, something I ALWAYS appreciate. Thank you very much

    Update: I sent off an email to rt-cpan about the issue/fix, and have of course given you full credit. Cheers mait ;)
