Thanks. I think we are on to something here. But, I'm still not getting there.
In response to:
#perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Inline::MakeMaker
I get:
Inline::MakeMaker is up to date (6.17)
In response to:
#perl -MCPAN -e shell > x.txt 2>&1
cpan> install Inline
I get:
This seems to say that a url list that I didn't know about before must be set up for CPAN to operate. My next two actions follow the instructions given in the error report above.
In response to:
cpan> o conf init urllist
I get two blank line feeds and a cpan> prompt. Thus, I think that the computer is saying that it is happy with this.
In response to:
cpan o conf init connect_to_internet_ok urllist
I get two blank line feeds and a cpan> prompt. Thus, I again think that the computer is saying that it is happy with this.
When I once again try:
#perl -MCPAN -e shell > x.txt 2>&1
cpan> install Device::USB
I get:
I ran through all of this several times as I was making notes and composing this posting. It took several passes before both of the "o conf" commands for urllist came back as successful. That makes me a little uneasy.
In the above error posting the following:
Warning: No success on command/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site
GWADEJ/Device-USB-0.29.tar.gz
/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site -- NOT OK
seems to be upset with a INSTALLDIRS variable or setting of some kind. I don't know what this is.
Still confused. Thanks for the help so far. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce
