ExtUtils::MakeMaker installation problem

ya_1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi. Trying to install RequestTracker on FreeBSD, stuck on 'make fixdeps'. The only missing dependency is Plack::Handler::Starlet, while making perl -MCPAN -e 'install Plack::Handler::Starlet' it's trying to install ExtUtils::MakeMaker and stops on make test, line t/INSTALL_BASE.t, 1/20, sometimes 3/20. Tryed to download, make and make test MakeMaker 6.62 and 6.63 - same thing. perl -v: 5.10.1 (*) built for i386-freebsd-64int uname -a: FreeBsd 8.2-RELEASE Thanks for any help.

Starlet is actually the least of your problems. It has a list of dependencies almost as long as Plack. I wrote a little CPAN helper script to install dependencies for Plack recently. You can get it here.	[reply]

it's trying to install ExtUtils::MakeMaker I doubt that http://search.cpan.org/~kazuho/Starlet-0.13/ is trying to install ExtUtils::MakeMaker, or that it gets stuck doing so on freebsd Sure, it requires MakeMaker version 6.42, but perl v5.10.1 already comes with MakeMaker version 6.55_02 Something doesn't make sense :) you need to drop into a shell, look or `cpanp z Starlet`, run `make realclean` if required, and copy/paste the output from `perl Makefile.PL` and `make test` Maybe like `perl Makefile.PL >out.txt 2>&1 dmake test TEST_VERBOSE=1 >>out.txt 2>&1` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Run the EU::MM 6.62 test again with `make test TEST_VERBOSE=1` and paste the parts where the tests are failing so that we may have some error messages or other context to look at.	[reply]
