Apparently you do not have the gcc compiler. It is best to run 'aptitude install build-essential' to pull it and other basic packages for program compilation. However, the module you want seems to be packaged for Debian (as are a lot of other Perl modules). Install it with 'aptitude install libstring-random-perl' and it should be done. -- <|Rain|> with sane code, maybe I could figure out the renderer :) <LordHavoc> rain: I'd probably be the one writing the renderer <|Rain|> well, er, uh Eduardo M KALINOWSKI [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://move.to/hpkb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
