Trying to compile and install a number of different CPAN modules. Many, of course, compile and install nicely. However a number fail to compile and give a error message like: 

  CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JS/JSTOWE/TermReadKey-2.21.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...

I super searched for this but to no avail. Google gives only two hits each on different platforms. I'm on Solaris 2.8, perl 5.005.03, using GCC 3.2.2 Why do some modules look for opnames.h? Why don't I have this in my perl install?
