Greetings monks

I'm having no end of fun trying to get Crypt::Random installed - Math::Pari installs without any test failures, but C::R fails at testing. Googling brings up similar reports but no solution - anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Many thanks

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
