I am using RedHat Linux 6.0 with perl v5.10.1. I don’t have ‘make’ in /usr/bin or anywhere else. The version of Linux we use is a stripped down version where rpms/files that were deemed unnecessary have been removed (maybe that’s why ‘make’ is missing). I do have LWP installed, but when I try to use it I get ‘501 Protocol shceme ‘http’ is not supported’ error. From what I read on the web, this could mean that LWP may not be properly installed (given that my code is correct). That’s why I am trying to reinstall LWP module (I downloaded libwww-perl-6.05.tar.gz from cpan), but for that I need ExtUtils-MakeMaker module to be installed. Running ‘perl –V:make’ gives me make=’make’. So, where do I get ‘make’ if it’s missing?

Thanks much
