in thread trouble installing Device::USB

Is this a good assumption?

No - as has already been mentioned in this thread, Inline::MakeMaker is part of Inline. When installing Inline, you'll be prompted to install Inline::C (during the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage). Accept that prompt, and all should be fine.

Cheers,
Rob

    In response to: 
    #perl -MCPAN -e shell > x.txt 2>&1
cpan> install Inline::C
    I get:
    Read more... (6 kB)

    My system does not seem to be very happy with "install Inline::C". I have already done the "conf init urllist" commands several times so I don't know what else to try.

    Thanks,

      What value do you get for

        o conf connect_to_internet_ok

      [download]

      Mine has a value of undef which means it asks me every time.

      I believe that the init command sets it to 0 which appears to be not to connect. I think setting it to 1 would connect. (You can also go to the CPAN/Config.pm file and delete the hash entry for connect_to_internet_ok, but that could be a problem if you accidentally mess up something else.
