Hi,
my error as follows:
Please install ExtUtils::Embed for /usr/bin/perl
grep: Makefile: No such file or directory
Missing CFLAGS_DYNAMIC inhibits building dynamic module lookup
../scripts/lookups-Makefile: line 115: lookups/Makefile.predynamic: No such file or directory

i tried hunting for a solution high and low but can't seem to find any. i can't install the perl module through cpan. anybody has a resolution to it?

the weird thing is i already installed ExtUtils::Embed via source and it shows up in the Perl modules in the control panel.
 
hi,
there's no such package in debian. :)
i read a page in help.directadmin.com before coming here.
thanks.
 
Running install for module 'ExtUtils::Embed'
CPAN: Data::Dumper loaded ok (v2.124)
'YAML' not installed, falling back to Data::Dumper and Storable to read prefs '/root/.cpan/prefs'
The most recent version "1.30" of the module "ExtUtils::Embed"
is part of the perl-5.15.4 distribution. To install that, you need to run
force install ExtUtils::Embed --or--
install F/FL/FLORA/perl-5.15.4.tar.gz
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9719)
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
 
pal, i really appreciate your help but i had really tried all available methods on both help.directadmin.com, this forum and google. none gave me an answer that's why i post it here. :)
 
Well it say you need to update perl or force it, so.. lets force it...

Code:
echo "no"  | /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->force(qw(install ExtUtils::Embed));"

Regards
 
this will in turn install perl 5.15.4? no?
i read that it's not for production purpose. anyway i'm trying to see how it turns out.
thanks.

CPAN.pm: Going to build F/FL/FLORA/perl-5.15.4.tar.gz

Say 'sh Configure', not 'sh <Configure'

yeah thanks for your offer to help.
i guess i'll wait a bit till someone encounters the same trouble and hopefully a fix be out by then.
