Perl Packer Install Fails on Ubuntu Trusty 32-Bit

holandes777 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

A quick search of the site: Found 0 nodes roughly between 2016-06-03 and 1999-10-04 (searched 100.00% of DB). here title contains all of "perl", "packer", "install", "fail"

The command I ran: cpan -i PAR::Packer Here is the output of the install command:

Does this suggest an error I can track down? I am having trouble determining what this is.

Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Thanks All!

Par::Packer comes with Ubuntu Trusty anyway. If you're having some odd trouble installing it from source why not just use the deb (libpar-packer-perl)?	[reply]

Thank you, that was the answer. I neglected to research the ubuntu packages. I appreciate you pointing that out.	[reply]

I have Ubuntu 64-bit and it just installed OK. Note that there are different flags being passed to the compiler, and that the output of the command appears to be 'true': `cc main.o -s -Wl,-E -fstack-protector -L/usr/local/lib -L/home/vagr +ant/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.3/lib/5.16.3/x86_64-linux/CORE -lp +erl -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc -o ./par true` [download] Maybe that's some help. The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l]

I am having trouble determining what this is. Step outside of cpan ( "look PAR::Packer" ) and run "perl Makefile.PL && make test TEST_VERBOSE=1" It should return more than "bad status" which just means "not work"	[reply]
