in reply to Math::Pari when pari is already installed

Hi kapeed,

Looking at the INSTALL file in the Math::Pari source distro, it seems this is not the preferred way to build Math::Pari: 
If the problems with Math::Pari being unable to build persist, there i
+s
another way to build it: use a pre-build version of the PARI library. 
+ Put
the link options on the Makefile.PL command line like this:

  perl Makefile.PL LIBPARI="-L/lib -lpari"

Of course, that doesn't answer your question :-)
But you might try that suggestion anyway. (Note that it differs from the incantation you tried.)

Cheers,
Rob
