I'm trying to install the Joe Marzot's SNMP module for UCD-SNMP, to monitor Cisco gear w/o telnetting, but hit a snag.   Problem appears to be from make not Perl, but I hope a clueful Monk might point me in the right direction.   I'm hopelessly ignorant of make, so forgive me if I'm overlooking something dumb.

Retrieved the SNMP module from CPAN and proceed to perl Makefile.PL.   Works fine.   But then make fails with Error 127 as follows:

sparky# perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for SNMP sparky# make mkdir blib mkdir blib/lib mkdir blib/arch mkdir blib/arch/auto mkdir blib/arch/auto/SNMP mkdir blib/lib/auto mkdir blib/lib/auto/SNMP cp SNMP.pm blib/lib/SNMP.pm AutoSplitting blib/lib/SNMP.pm (blib/lib/auto/SNMP) /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.005 + /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/ExtUtils/xsubpp -noprototypes -typemap /usr/lib +/perl5/5.005/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap SNMP.xs >xstmp.c && mv + xstmp.c SNMP.c cc -c -I/usr/include -Dbool=char -DHAS_BOOL -D_REENTRANT -DDEBIAN -I/u +sr/local/include -O2 -DVERSION=\"3.1.0\" -DXS_VERSION=\"3.1.0\" -f +PIC -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/CORE SNMP.c make: cc: Command not found make: *** [SNMP.0] Error 127 sparky#
Other details I can think of:
SNMP module 3.1.0
SNMP library 4.1
SNMP developement files 4.1
SNMP apps
Perl 5.005.03
Debian 2.2 x86
