in thread Trouble installing modules under Mac OS X

Hi Tim, Thanks for the advice. I've installed the developer tools, but as you found, this did not make all my troubles go away.

As you suggested, I attempted a manual install of DBI. However, this also generated errors. Running the makefile produces the following error:

Can't locate Digest/MD5.pm in @INC (@INC contains: blib/arch blib/lib +/System/Library/Perl/darwin /System/Library/Perl/darwin /System/Libra +ry/Perl/darwin /System/Library/Perl /sw/lib/perl5/darwin /sw/lib/perl +5/darwin /sw/lib/perl5 /System/Library/Perl/darwin /System/Library/Pe +rl/darwin /System/Library/Perl /Library/Perl/darwin /Library/Perl/dar +win /Library/Perl /Library/Perl/darwin /Library/Perl /Network/Library +/Perl/darwin /Network/Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl . /System/Li +brary/Perl/darwin /System/Library/Perl /Library/Perl/darwin /Library/ +Perl /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/darwin /Network/Library/Perl + /Network/Library/Perl .) at blib/lib/MD5.pm line 8. Compilation failed in require at t/md5.t line 8.<P>
Any advice on resolving this problem? I've got the idea that perl is not configured to look in all the right places for included modules, but am not sure how to fix this.

Many thanks,

Kevin

    Hi again,

    I think that perl is looking in the right places; it's just that MD5 is yet another external module you will have to install. If I recall correctly the Digest::MD5 module installed from the perl -MCPAN interface without any problems.

    Unfortunately, as you've discovered, the catch with manual installation is that module dependencies don't get followed automatically. Of course, for a control freak like me, that's a plus :-)
