in thread Installing Lingua::LinkParser

Thanks Rob. You're right, Link-Grammar is a C library. I have installed it locally. I modified the include location in Makefile.PL as per your suggestion and the number of errors reduced significantly. I am not sure if this error has to do with link-grammar.

    As Anonymous Monk has suggested, can you show us what comes before the warnings/errors you've just posted.

    Are you using the same compiler to build Lingua::LinkParser that built your perl ?

    Cheers,
    Rob

      Also the contents of Makefile.PL is

        You've got the wrong link-grammar source, I think. I grabbed this source and Lingua-LinkParser-1.14 built fine for me on linux (Mandrake-9.1), perl-5.12.0.

        Having grabbed that source, I unpacked it to /home/rob/perlmods, then did a 'cd' to /home/rob/perlmods/link-grammar-4.4.3. I then ran ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static. If you want to build a shared (dynamic) lib, then run ./configure --disable-static --enable-shared instead. And if you want to install to somewhere other than /usr/local you'll need to add the --prefix=/home/aktest (or whatever) argument to the command.

        After configure finished, I ran make followed by sudo make install. Then it was just a matter of building Lingua-LinkParser-1.14 in the "usual" way:
        perl Makefile.PL followed by make test and then sudo make install.
        See how you get on with that.

        Cheers,
        Rob.

    The interesting errors are before that.
