If you are installing it into the system installed perl, which most likely you are doing so with a su switch user utility, then correct way to do so would be to:
# sudo su - # cd <to_untarred_source_directory> # make depend # make # make test # make install # make clean (space and then followed by a dash is important on the first command). -----Original Message----- From: Fred Tydeman <tydeman.f...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2024 10:39 PM To: Bruce Schuck <bsch...@asgard-systems.com> Cc: GnuCash User <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] Finance::Quote PreRelease 1.61_03 On my Linux systems, after some searching, I found that I needed: dnf install perl-ExtUtils-MakeMake* to get me started. Running perl Makefile.PL got me several warnings of other missing perl files. After doing a bunch of dnf install perl-... for them, 'make' and 'make test' ran But, 'make install' failed due to permission issues. Does it need 'su' to do the install?
