Greetings Perl masters,

I am quite new to this so please dont beat me. If this is a FAQ I havent found the answer by search, and though I have read Tachyons tut it doesn't seem to cover this either.

When adding a module I get a fail during make 


[andyf@localhost Data-Dumper-2.101]$ make
make: *** Warning: File `/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/

What is a make error 1? I am building on a freshly installed RedHat 8.0, all the tools , gcc, make and so on seem to be installed and working correctly. Also this is not a permissions problem since I can't accomplish this as Root either.

Thanks in anticipation of any wisdom Andy
