I am trying to install this module for use with a spamassassin server. Using Perl 5.8.3 on Fedora Core 2. Getting the following error when I either try to install the module through CPAN or downloading the tar and doing it the old fashioned way. Would appreciate any suggestions for finding the problem. I am new to linux but am trying to learn.
Thanks, Ron cpan> install Archive::Tar CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Wed, 18 Aug 2004 14:05:04 GMT Running install for module Archive::Tar Running make for K/KA/KANE/Archive-Tar-1.10.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::MD5 loaded ok CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/K/KA/KANE/Archive-Tar-1.10.tar.gz ok Scanning cache /root/.cpan/build for sizes Deleting from cache: /root/.cpan/build/Bundle-libnet-1.00 (11.2>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /root/.cpan/build/CPAN-1.76 (11.2>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /root/.cpan/build/IO-Zlib-1.02 (10.7>10.0 MB) Deleting from cache: /root/.cpan/build/Archive-Zip-1.12 (10.6>10.0 MB) Archive-Tar-1.10/ Archive-Tar-1.10/bin/ Archive-Tar-1.10/bin/ptar Archive-Tar-1.10/lib/ Archive-Tar-1.10/lib/Archive/ Archive-Tar-1.10/lib/Archive/Tar/ Archive-Tar-1.10/lib/Archive/Tar/Constant.pm Archive-Tar-1.10/lib/Archive/Tar/File.pm Archive-Tar-1.10/lib/Archive/Tar.pm Archive-Tar-1.10/Makefile.PL Archive-Tar-1.10/MANIFEST Archive-Tar-1.10/META.yml Archive-Tar-1.10/README Archive-Tar-1.10/t/ Archive-Tar-1.10/t/01_use.t Archive-Tar-1.10/t/02_methods.t Archive-Tar-1.10/t/99_pod.t Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/ Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/long/ Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/long/b Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/long/bar.tar Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/long/foo.tgz Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/short/ Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/short/b Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/short/bar.tar Archive-Tar-1.10/t/src/short/foo.tgz Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/Archive-Tar-1.10 CPAN.pm: Going to build K/KA/KANE/Archive-Tar-1.10.tar.gz Checking if your kit is complete...
