Dear Monks, I have active states' 5.8.3.809 build of Perl installed on win2K, but I cannot get Tk::JPEG to install. PPM cannot find it, and when I type in 'help repository', no help displays, and it acts like I just hit return. CPAN finds the package, but can't install it. When it says 'running make test', I get the error "'test'' is not a recognized internal or external command". I have not had any other problems installing packages, except for Bundle::CPAN, the latest upgrade to CPAN, that seems to have other problems. The instructions for manually installing this package were very confusing for me and did not seem to work. So I searched my system for anything called 'make', and I found none. I was finally able to find and download nmake 1.5 on MSN and dropped the .exe into my c:\perl\bin folder, but still no luck. Simply dropping the jpeg.pm file into site\lib or \lib dirs gave a 'can't load loadable object for module Tk::JPEG', error when trying to run a TK script I wrote. Please help me to to understand why I am flailing so hard! -Thanks! Ok, forget it. No one has bothered to tell me why they don't like my post here, but they keep dropping my reputation. Whatever, thanks for all the helps guys!
