HI there,

I'm trying to install Crypt::SSLeay on a Windows XP SP3 32bit box with Strawberry Perl 5.10.0 installed.

However when it trys to run make test, it fails with teh following error:

Running make test

Any ideas how i'd get around this?

Is something already listening on port 443 on localhost? I've seen a number of failures with this in the past. The fact that 02-live passes without error (and that the build found your OpenSSL library) makes me think that you'll be fine doing a force install. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

I cant see anything listening on 443... Also, I had to specify the location of my OpenSSL files... Next daft question then, how do i force install it? Cheers Gavin	[reply]

Easy, just: `dmake install` ... if running from the command-line (in the build directory), or 'force install' in the CPAN shell. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply] [d/l]

Don't use pastebin, use `<code>` tags instead.	[reply] [d/l]
