I had also deleted and re-unpacked the PAR-Packer-1.002 directory.

I did it again anyway and took more notice of the output of perl Makefile.pl:

This time, it resulted in pages of errors, I could not copy-and-paste it all, what I was able to paste is right at the bottom of this posting.

I uninstalled PERL once after and re-unpacked PAR-Packer-1.002 twice, each time doing the process above and it always generates all these errors. Please could you let me know why this may be happeneing.

Thank you.

Richard.

The first hang is a timing issue - parldyn.exe is being looked for before it has actually been installed in its destination directory. By the time you get to re-run 'dmake test' it's where it needs to be and everything should be sweet.

The output that you posted looks fine execept that some of the tests are failing. File::Temp can't be found because @INC consists only of the current working directory - not sure if that indicates a PAR-Packer problem or a problem with the perl installation. (It's a pity that you re-installed Perl, as it was definitely fine before.) And PAR/Filter/PodStrip.pm can't be found because it's not yet in any of the directories listed in @INC. Again, @INC looks odd - it should contain blib.

In order to determine whether your perl installation is ok, could you build Math::FFT and see if that works ok ? If it does, then I'll have to start scratching my head as to what's suddenly started fucking up @INC in the PAR-Packer test suite. (You could try running 'dmake install' followed by 'dmake test'. That should make PAR/Filter/PodStrip.pm visible to the test suite ... but not File::Temp.) If Math::FFT does fail to build, then there's something wrong with your perl installation, and perl should be re-installed. (But show me the errors before you re-install perl.)

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob
