in reply to Newbie question about Modules

The installation error message is helpful.

Please see the INSTALL file.

The INSTALL file is part of the distribution for Math::GMP, and can be found here.

The relevant text is at the top of that file:

To install this package, you will need a version of the GMP library. You can get it at the homepage of GMP:

http://www.gmplib.org/

No need to buy anything. This clue is free, but may be worth exactly that. ;)

    Well apparently all I needed to do was restart my Macbook pro. Once rebooted, I reinstalled the GNP and then installed Net::SSH::Perl::Subsystem::Client module. This time it worked and my perl script ran without a hitch. Thanks for the help David.

    Thanks Davido for the reply. So I downloaded and installed the GMP library. After doing so I tried to install the Math::GMP module again. received the same error. "can't find -lgmp". I am using OS X Lion so I do not know if this changes anything. I have read through the man page on perl. It looks like I am doing all the correct things but still can't get this module to install. I installed the library using the correct procedures and it looked like it installed properly with no errors and it passed all of the "make test" tests. Any suggestions? And thanks again for the help.

    Thanks for the Help! CLRCode
