installing Language::Prolog::Yaswi

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

Hello Perl Monks, this is my first post, seeking for wisdom :-) . Need guidance on installing a module. when I tried to install Language::Prolog::Yaswi with CPAN (with errors)

kisman@kisman-laptop:~$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Language::Prolog:
+:Yaswi'
Language-Prolog-Yaswi-0.16/MANIFEST
CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.21)
  '/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site' returned status 256, wo
+n't make
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, won't install

This module is a glue to SWI-Prolog, I have the SWI-Prolog already installed in my PC. What is that 256 status ? How can I solve that ? Thanks. My system

Maybe running `"perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site"` manually (from within the `~/.cpan/build/...` directory) would give you more output that would help to figure out why that command returned status 256... (which, in short, just means it failed)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks Perl Monks, I think there is a problem with CPAN installer, after reading the README file for that module then I knew that my prolog program "pl" is not set in PATH. Also it will only installed if I installed it manually.	[reply]
