Maybe you or somebody else misconfigure CPAN.pm heavily. Maybe missing
configuration of the make command.

Try 'o conf init' and answer all the questions carefully. Or to prevent
getting tired, try 'o conf init /make/'. This will only ask you
questions about variables containing the string 'make'.

Find out who misconfigured your system. That's a good candidate to
camplain to;)
