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

I asked a similar question earlier, but I'm still having trouble getting this to work. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=900049 I can find the CPAN.pm file in question, but I can't find anywhere to fix the "/usr/bink/make" to "/usr/bin/make". How can I correct this? Thanks.

    What happens if you run:

    $ cpan
cpan[1]> o conf make_install_make_command /usr/bin/make
cpan[2]> o conf commit

      This post got me on the right track. I was able to track down a website to fix this on Mac OS X. I'll post the link in case any other Mac users are struggling with this.

      Thank you so much for the help.
