Need Help to install Text::Mecab

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

Hi , I am unable to install the Text::Mecab module taken from the CPAN.
When i do the first step for installation manually as below:
#perl MakeFile.PL
Then it is prompting as below:
Enter the path for mecab-config []
If i provide some path , then it is not proceeding.
Please help me the steps to install this module.?

Do you have mecab installed? You need to install it first, and then tell Text::Mecab where it is located. If you do have mecab installed, what path are you providing and what error message are you getting?	[reply]

Exactly. You need to have `libmecab` installed on your system. Ask your system administrator how to do this if you don't know how to proceed.	[reply] [d/l]
