Installing Config::General Failed Hanna 10-22-2007

Hello,

I am following instructions http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html
to install Config::General. However, when I tried sudo make install,
I got

make: stat:GNUmakefile: Permission denied
make: stat:makefile: Permission denied
make: stat:Makefile: Permission denied
make: stat:install: Permission denied
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

I am able to do make test. Can someone explain what's wrong?

Thanks

Hanna

Is your problem specific to using sudo,
or do you have the same problem as root?
Is the sequence you ran the following:
perl Makefile.PL; make; sudo make install
?
Is your current directory (e.g. home) nfs mounted?
What is your umask?

Are these questions trivial to you?
Sorry if they are.

[ Typically root will not be treated as root over nfs,
so if your umask doesn't grant read access to other
(e.g. 007), root won't be able to read the files
you produced under your own id.
