Thank you for your response. I have taken your addive and used the "perl -MCPAN -e shell" command and then executed a install Tk Howevere, I cpan encountered errors wile making the module. Im sure it will be hard to tell what is going on with just the error mesg, but does anyone have a general isa of what to do?
Here is what I got: /usr/bin/perl is installed in /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux okay PPM for perl5.006001 Test Compiling config/signedchar.c Test Compiling config/Ksprintf.c Test Compiling config/tod.c Test Compiling -DTIMEOFDAY_TZ config/tod.c TZ gettimeofday() Using -L/usr/X11R6/lib to find /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2 Cannot find X include files via /usr/X11R6/include Cannot find X include files anywhere at ./myConfig line 312. Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 17. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 19. Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install cpan> ----- This is what line 312 of myConfig looks like: unless (defined $xinc) { warn "Cannot find X include files via $base/include\n"; $xinc = &IX11(map("$_/include",@xdirs), '/usr/openwin/include', chooseX11(</usr/X11*/include>), chooseX11(</usr/include/X11*>), </usr/Xfree*/include>, '/usr/X386/include', $Config{'usrinc'}); } die "Cannot find X include files anywhere" unless (defined $xinc); ------- Any help would be greatly apreciated.
