in reply to Re: Time::Hires installation under RH Linux 9.0
in thread Time::Hires installation under RH Linux 9.0

I did try with both 1.47 and 1.48. I also did a fresh install of RH 7.3 with perl 5.6.1 and both 1.47 and 1.48 worked well (1.47 has installed well many, many times).

Unfortunately in theis "experiment" I changed 2 variables at the same time:

1) RH 7.3 -> RH 9.0
2) perl 5.6.1 to 5.8.0

Your results would indicate that perhaps RH 9.0 is not the problem. On your RH 9.0 do you have perl 5.8.0 or 5.6.1 ?

Thanx!

Re: Re: Re: Time::Hires installation under RH Linux 9.0
by gary kuipers (Beadle) on Jun 16, 2003 at 14:25 UTC
    The version of RH 9.0 I was using was a text only install. I figured that there might be something missing in the Linux so I reinstalled with EVERYTHING.

    I then tried to install the Time::Hires and got the same error

    Here is the perl -V off that system:

      Another interesting note:

      I tried using an older version of Time::HiRes from cpan.org - v1.20. Same problem, except the error "missing separator" appears on line 88 in this case.

      Perhaps something is broken in the perl Makefile.PL process and it is making bad Makefile?
[reply]

        Yes, the problem has nothing to do with Time::HiRes. The problem is with Config.pm in the '*.UTF-8' locales in the version of perl shipped with RH9, which causes the corrupted Makefiles
