CPAN install of SGML::Parser::OpenSP fails

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

Howdy, monks.

To reiterate, the build of SGML::Parser::OpenSP is failing on me, and I'm enough of a newbie to be stumped.

(Note, the *build*; not the tests.)

The relevant error stuff:

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lstdc++
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -losp

[snip]

g++ -c   -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -Wdeclaration-after-statement -D_L
+ARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -mtune=i686 -O2 -pipe -fforce-

OpenSP.xs:26:44: OpenSP/ParserEventGeneratorKit.h: No such file or dir

OpenSP.xs:33: error: expected class-name before '{' token

Which is followed by a lot more junk. I have no idea how to resolve failed CPAN builds.

I suspect that the 'probably harmless' notes aren't.

Google yields links to archives of the cpan-testers mailing list, but nothing more.

(Apologies if this should go somewhere else - $_ ? enlighten_me : '';)

Ideas?

Hi, the important lines are probably: `Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lstdc++ Note (probably harmless): No library found for -losp` [download] Try to install OpenSP (OpenJade group's SGML parsing tools) before you try again to install this module again from CPAN. If you are on Linux you will find OpenSP in your package-tool. hth	[reply] [d/l]

It looks like you will need to install the correct packages. The libraries are, more than likely, present but the headers are missing. For example on my SUSE machine I have to install the lib???-devel packages as well as the lib??? ones. Whatever package manager you have will provide some method for searching for the packages that provide libstdc++, libosp and their header files	[reply]

Thanks all! Installing my system's OpenSP package did the trick. Anonymous Monk, that's what I needed to know. I didn't know CPAN packages had ~~dependency lists~~ external dependencies that needed manual install. Ta. -- Just another hurl packer	[reply]
