From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507 Description of problem: When using CPAN to install new perl modules, the 'make' command fails every time with a "Makefile:XX: *** missing separator. Stop." where XX is a line number. The following *always* appears at that line, regardless of module: installhtml3dir='' **installman1** INSTALLSITEBIN = /usr The ** line is the line in question (it does not appear in the file surrounded by **'s). perl -MCPAN -e shell [snip] cpan> install CDB_File [snip] Writing Makefile for CDB_File Makefile:82: *** missing separator. Stop. /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK This section of the Makefile seems to be generated by MakeMaker. I could not determine the cause of this problem, so I am reporting it as a bug since it happens on *all* my RH 9 distributions, and I can't find CDB_File in a RPM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.0-88 perl-CPAN-1.61-88 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. perl -M CPAN -e shell 2. cpan> install CDB_File 3. Actual Results: [snip] Writing Makefile for CDB_File Makefile:82: *** missing separator. Stop. /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Additional info:
