I upgraded to Lion. I have pre-existing Perl modules that I had installed, but I hadn't yet installed DBD::mysql. When I try to install DBD::mysql, I get this: Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Using DBI 1.615 (for perl 5.012003 on darwin-thread-multi-2level) installed in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBI/ Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql Can't exec "/usr/bin/make": No such file or directory at /System/Library/Perl/5.12/CPAN/Distribution.pm line 2026. CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-4.020.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-4.020.tar.gz : make NO When I try to update CPAN, I get this: Warning: Prerequisite 'File::HomeDir => 0.69' for 'ANDK/CPAN-1.9800.tar.gz' failed when processing 'ADAMK/File-HomeDir-0.98.tar.gz' with 'make => NO'. Continuing, but chances to succeed are limited. Can't exec "/usr/bin/make": No such file or directory at /System/Library/Perl/5.12/CPAN/Distribution.pm line 2026. ANDK/CPAN-1.9800.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: ADAMK/Test-Script-1.07.tar.gz : make NO CHANSEN/Mac-SystemDirectory-0.06.tar.gz : writemakefile NO -- No 'Makefile' created ANDK/CPAN-1.9800.tar.gz : make NO ADAMK/File-HomeDir-0.98.tar.gz : make NO RJBS/IPC-Run3-0.044.tar.gz : make NO ADAMK/File-Which-1.09.tar.gz : make NO So the common denominator is: Can't exec "/usr/bin/make": No such file or directory at /System/Library/Perl/5.12/CPAN/Distribution.pm line 2026. Looks like I need to install make. This means, I need to get XCode so I can install make, right? -- Lola J.
