Re: Problem with PerlmakeSNMP module Error 127

You may wish to read your error messages a little more closely:

make: cc: Command not found
make: *** [SNMP.0] Error 127
[download]

You are missing 'cc', which is the C compiler needed to actually compile your stuff. Consider installing GCC or equivalent. Perhaps someone else can give you additional pointers as to where you might find such a thing for your platform.

On most Debian systems `/usr/bin/cc` is a symlink to `/etc/alternatives/cc`, which in turn is a symlink to `/usr/bin/gcc`. If the symlinks are there, then I'm stumped. Maybe try '`apt-get install --reinstall gcc`'?	[reply]

Wow, thanks for the quick answer, Fastolfe 8^). I saw that, but didn't make the connection. Thought GCC was part of the Debian base install, but apparantly not. Don't understand why prior CPAN modules installs didn't choke on this though. After lunch (featherbones - mmm,mmmm) I'll look for that Debian package. cheers, Don (ybiC) striving for Perl Adept	[reply]

Perhaps your earlier modules didn't have C components that needed to be compiled? If you do think you have GCC installed, perhaps your configuration process didn't find it? Usually a '`perl Makefile.PL`' will catch stuff like the location and names of your compiler. Try typing '`cc`' and/or '`gcc`' from the command prompt and see if you get something.

You were spot-on, Fastolfe++. GCC was not installed, easily remedied with `apt-get update && apt-get install gcc gcc-doc`. `make` now completes cleanly. But now `make test` doesn't find a couple MIBs where it expects to. So I'll tweak `Makefile.PL` to point to Deb's proper directories and start over. Hmmm... or not. Don't recognise anything there as pointing to MIB files. Update: In the Chatterbox, tye suggested that I `make install` anyway, in spite of `make test` errors, and it seems to have worked. Many thanks to Fastolfe, tye, and other fine Monks who replied to my SOPW post. 8^) cheers, Don (ybiC) striving for Perl Adept	[reply]
