Re: New to Mac - need help compiling a package

Hi and thanks for the info.
I have tried your option 1 and it fails during perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
With the following error:
  CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AD/ADAMK/File-HomeDir-0.86.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
'INSTALL_BASE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

Running make install
  Can't test without successful make
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

In addition I have earlier tried option 2 but the make command fails with
the following error:
bash: make: command not found

Thanks again,
