Re^3: Unable to install Lab::VISA module

Thanks for your time Rob. I did update the ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and I still have this problem. I do notice one strange thing though, according to this link http://search.cpan.org/dist/Lab-VISA/lib/Lab/VISA/Installation.pod they ask me to correct the EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS by adding the "C:\path\to\visa32.lib" to each of of these lines. But I dont see EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS in my Makefile. What am I doing wrong?

I did copy the visa32.lib and visa.h to C:\Strawberry\cpan\Lab-VISA-3.02\include and C:\Strawberry\cpan\Lab-VISA-3.02\msc and changed my Makefile.PL as follows, but that does not work either. What else I need to correct? #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; # If you have Swig installed, un-comment the next line # to re-create the wrapper code. # If you do so, also un-comment the 'clean' section below # to delete the swig-generated files when doing 'make clean'. # TODO: should just check if swig is in the path # system("swig -perl5 -module Lab::VISA visa.i"); WriteMakefile( # 'clean' => { # FILES => 'VISA.pm visa_wrap.c' # }, # Important: you have to adjust the 'LIBS' and 'INC' paths according t +o your local setup! # The correct values may depend on your exact version of LabView, VISA +, GPIB drivers, # the phase of the moon and the local neutrino density... # First two lines are for Windows, second two lines are for Linux. # TODO: find out how to figure these out automatically.
