Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this installed? Thanks

/usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" Build.PL Build Base class package "Module::Build" is empty. (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package f +irst.) at make/lib/SDL/Build.pm line 9 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at make/lib/SDL/Build.pm line 9. Compilation failed in require at Build.PL line 11. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 11. make: *** [Build] Error 255 [root@slcln02 SDL_Perl-2.1.2]# vi Build.PL [root@slcln02 SDL_Perl-2.1.2]# sdl-config --libs -L/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread

    Base class package "Module::Build" is empty. (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.)
    You have to install Module::Build
      Module::Build is already installed.
        mmh. Module::Build needs
        File::Spec (); File::Path (); File::Basename ();
        Do you have these installed?

        And what is in line 9 of your SDL/Build.pm?
