[Koha] Newbie Query

[david]

I really really want to set up a test/evaluation koha. Really. I do.
I have a ubuntu box, pretty much basic ubuntu server 7.04 LAMP.
I followed the basic instructions, and ran perl installer.pl, which tells me I
need to install some perl packages - fine, no problem, so off I go ...
remaining list of packages to install is :
export LC_ALL=C

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Date::Calc"'

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "ZOOM"'

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need PDF::API2 for barcode generator"'

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need GD::Barcode for the new barcode
generator"'

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Data::Random for the new barcode
generator"'

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need PDF::Reuse::Barcode for the new
barcode generator"'

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Net::LDAP if you want to authentify
patrons through a LDAP"'


So - doing the Date::Calc entry :
first it suggests I might want to upgrade to newer CPAN from v1.7602 to v1.9102
with install Bundle::CPAN then reload cpan, but I continue ... I get blah blah
blah, then Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite Bit::Vector 6.4 not found.
...
Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue
of modules we are processing right now? [yes]
 so I say yes
and the install for bit::vector starts:
Running make test
  Delayed until after prerequisites
Running make install
  Delayed until after prerequisites
Running install for module Bit::Vector

 then loads and loads of compiler errors.

It looks like I'm missing some dev stuff.

Any advice please ?
