Error while trying to install from CPAN
Hi i was trying to install Text::CSV from cpan... it seemed to have downloaded everythign properly but was not able to run the make file...
do u have any idea as to why this happened??

Install:
Code:
=============================
If you install Text::CSV_XS v.0.70, it makes Text::CSV faster.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Text::CSV
Can't exec "make": No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/CPAN/Distrib
ution.pm line 2003.
  MAKAMAKA/Text-CSV-1.16.tar.gz
  make -- 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:
 MAKAMAKA/Text-CSV-1.16.tar.gz                : make NO

Are you sure you have the make utility installed? Can you post the output of
Code:
cpan[1]> o conf

I think i installed all the perl modules... i must've left out the c stuff... thought it would come in by default....

Code:
  o conf

Looks like you're missing several programs. Run the Cygwin installer, and install (at least) gcc-core, gcc-g++, make (all three are in the Devel-section, and gzip (Base) if they're not already installed.

Then run the CPAN shell an enter
Code:
o conf make /usr/bin/make
o conf gzip /usr/bin/gzip
o conf commit

hey it still doesn't seem to be working.. isn't there a way it'll pick this up automatically?
In the installation folder i see around 4 different folders as in 1 for every mirror i downloaded anything from

This error description is about as useful as telling your doctor "I have a hurt". Do you get any error messages, if so, which ones? What did you do prior to and after it not working.

Which installation folder? That of Cygwin or that of CPAN?

See above.

And on an unrelated note, please do not use "chat speak" and the like. From the Rules
