in reply to Cpan make problem

Did you install the developer tools? Did you install the BSD subsystem? You need both of those to install modules on OSX.

    I did install the developer tools, but not the BSD subsystem. How would I go about setting that up?
      It's one of the options during your initial install. Not sure if you can do it after the fact. Try inserting your distro media and booting off that, and seeing if you can upgrade by selecting that.

      You might also be able to find a ".pkg" file with a name like "BSD Subsystem" on the distro media... I can't look at mine since it's 1500 miles away. {grin}
