ikegami: I am trying to install WxPerl, according to your instructions. I have Strawberry Perl 5.14.2 running on Windows 7.

I tried to install VC++ 2008, but it's not available, so I installed VC++ 2010 (I don't think it should be a problem (?)).

Then I went:

cpan Wx

It seems to have installed:

SMUELLER/ExtUtils-ParseXS-3.18.tar.gz

OK (it printed hundreds of lines, so I'm not attaching it here, unless necessary); then it went ahead to:

 CPAN.pm: Building M/MD/MDOOTSON/Wx-0.9917.tar.gz

and after many lines looking ok, eventually issued the following error:

What to do?

Many TIA - Helen
