Hello,

I am trying to install Device::USB on CentOS 6. I have installed Perl 5.16.0 using Perlbrew (also tried with Perl 5.18.2). Gcc & make are installed and in the path as well, of course.

Here is the error from trying to install Device::USB

cpan -i Device::USB
<snip...>
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/.cpan/build/Inline-0.54-lWJF7c/C'

A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your
+ Inline
C code. The command that failed was:
  make > out.make 2>&1

The build directory was:
/root/.cpan/build/Inline-0.54-lWJF7c/C/_Inline_test/build/_08taint_1_p
+_0965

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the outpu
+t files.

Here are the o conf entries for make:

    make               [/usr/bin/make]
    make_arg           []
    make_install_arg   []
    make_install_make_command [/usr/bin/make]

I have tried installing this module on three different CentOS 6 machines, same issue on all of them! I am at a loss - but I really need to get Device::USB working somehow.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!
