Hello,

I need to install the libnet module on my SUN server. I downloaded the
latest version from the CPAN website and uncompress it on y server.
As explained in the readme file, I executed the makefile.pl file.
The next step is to execute "make". But when I did it, I got "not
found".
Any idea?

Thx!

Sounds like your SUN server doesn't come with make. Look for a binary
verion of GNU make.

It might also be that you don't have the make command in your shell's
PATH. On Solaris, make is often installed as /usr/ccs/bin/make, putting
it in a location that many users don't have in their PATH.

Thx Bill.

The make was in fact on my SUN server but not included in my $PATH.
I executed it but when I did "make install", it installed the
libraries in my current directory and not in the perl one. Do you have
an idea on the reason?

Thx!
