Dear Monks,

I am trying to install Tk on Fedora 40, running Perl 5.40.0, under perlbrew, version 0.98. I am using cpanm under perlbrew.

Thus:

[giz@daisy 1718657110.59825$ which perl
~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.40.0/bin/perl

[download]

My error is this: 

[giz@daisy ~$ cpanm Tk
--> Working on Tk
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SR/SREZIC/Tk-804.036.tar.gz 
+... OK

! Configure failed for Tk-804.036. See /home/giz/.cpanm/work/171865711
+0.59825/build.log for details.

Here is an excerpt from that build.log where I first see an error. The error says "C compiler cannot create executables."

checking whether the C compiler (cc -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe

I'd be much obliged if someone can help me get back on track.
