Perl Module install error CPAN
cpan, perl
Solution
Look at the error message:
Can't exec "/usr/bin/make": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl/5.14/CPAN/Distribution.pm line 2078.
`make` is missing. Therefore: install `make`.
apt-get install build-essential
Will get you most of what you need to compile software.
I tried the following changes also
Those tell CPAN that it can find make at `/usr/bin/make`, the error message is already telling you that it doesn't exist there.
Problem
When i try to install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel perl module using cpan in ubuntu 12.04, i get this following error. ``` > Can't exec "/usr/bin/make": No such file or directory at > /usr/share/perl/5.14/CPAN/Distribution.pm line 2078. > JMCNAMARA/OLE-Storage_Lite-0.19.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK > 'YAML' not installed, will not store persistent state Running make > test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make > had returned bad status, install seems impossible Running make for > J/JM/JMCNAMARA/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.40.tar.gz Has already been > unwrapped into directory > /root/.cpan/build/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.40-gJaT_A > > CPAN.pm: Going to build > J/JM/JMCNAMARA/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.40.tar.gz > > Warning: Prerequisite 'OLE::Storage_Lite => 0.19' for > 'JMCNAMARA/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.40.tar.gz' failed when processing > 'JMCNAMARA/OLE-Storage_Lite-0.19.tar.

It didn't work. ``` o conf make /usr/bin/make o conf commit ``` Then i tried installing OLE-Storage_Lite, i got the same kind of error.
