Re: Problem installing Perl/Tk

Update 13.Jan.2023 Went into /Users/thimes/.cpan and found the Tk build directory. Looking at the INSTALL to try a manual install... Perl/Tk can be installed using: perl Makefile.PL make make test. (FAILED as before. Bypassed it) make install Run "make install" seemed to be successful. Tested on several of my Perl/Tk programs and it worked well. Solution: "make test" fails when trying to install Tk.pm from CPAN. Manually run the "makes" listed above.

Tk seems to install fine for almost everyone else - see the Darwin test results. If `make test` fails on your platform you should try to determine why that is. Try running `t/basic.t` in isolation, determine which test fails and why. If it is something wrong with the module itself, then you should raise a bug report against the module so that this can be fixed. You get to use all this wonderful open source software for free. It would be rude not to contribute back simply by analysing the installation problems and reporting the cause to the module authors. 🦛	[reply] [d/l] [select]
