Hi

Thank you Simon for your reply, you may like to pass this on to Chris but if you can help it would be great. I have tired several things with perl in an attempt to getting Cdk installed. I have obviously made a hash of things and am stongly contemplating reinstalling perl all over.

I have installed the Cdk library to /usr/local/includes/cdk. When I first tried to install cdk I did not know, and I am still not sure, where several of the loacations and programs that the dk README files refer to are. Those being:- - The cursers directroy - The header files - The configuration file for perl to point perl to the above, The README refers to a configuration program in the perl home irectory I don't know where that is. I have a RedHat 6.1 server and I am guessing that the perl home is at /usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.005/i386-linux. Even if this is correct there is no file named configuration so I can't configure perl.

I gave up on that approch and in my way through this discovered that you can use CPAN. I have tried the following.

perl -MCPAN -e shell

...

install Cdk

It asked me a few questions like where is make and I answered them correctly (I think).

It goes and finds a ftp site and down loads and looks great up untill it comes up with an error something like

bad make /usr/bin/make

and bombs out. The make file is at usr/bin/make so I am now stuck.

Please help beg beg grovel!!!
