(CamelPack) PathTools 3.17 installation hangs

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

It's been sitting at this point for half an hour now. What can I do?

(PS: Sorry for the stupid wrapping. It's all cmd's fault.)

Well, PXPerl just flies through it all, and ActivePerl hangs for a minute after the line

I'd just exit the CPAN shell and try again, maybe it was just a fluke.

BTW I used the command in the command shell

cpan>test K/KW/KWILLIAMS/PathTools-3.17.tar.gz

update p.s. I'm using nmake as my make tool.

Likewise, I've been experimenting with VanillaPerl, which uses MinGW and dmake, and it has been fairly successful for me.

While the original CamelPack used nmake, you might try installing dmake, and see if that works better for you. Also, be sure to set INCLUDE and LIB environment variables. (Change the mingw path to wherever CamelPack installed it.)

INCLUDE=C:\mingw\include
LIB=C:\mingw\lib;C:\perl\bin
