vikram1974: The error "/bin/sh: cc: command not found" indicates that either you don't have a C compiler installed on the machine, or that your account isn't set up to use it. Try resolving that and then try installing Proc::ProcessTable again. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.	[reply]

gcc compiler is already there, how to make point cc=gcc to proceed? Thanks	[reply]

gcc compiler is already there, how to make point cc=gcc to proceed? It shouldn't be necessary to do that, and I think the advice offered by roboticus is sound. However, to answer your question: `cpanm Proc::ProcessTable --configure-args="cc=gcc"` [download] or, if gcc location is not in $PATH environment variable: `cpanm Proc::ProcessTable --configure-args="cc=/full/path/to/gcc"` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

vikram1974: Talk with your system administrator who can help you get your shell profile set up appropriately. Usually, you need to verify that your account has appropriate permissions to access/execute the files (the compiler, linker, libraries, include files, etc.), and that your shell configuration sets up the environment variables for you. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
