Installing the developer tools installed ppod2man and make. So now its there. But it still returns a "bad status" when called, like from within a CPAN installation.

Any ideas?

In a test directory, try the following makefile content

target :
<tab character>echo "Making target..."
<tab character>touch target

then run the make command, not the perl Makefile.pl command.

What result do you get? If make is working, you should see "Making target..."

[localhost:~/documents] keston% perl Makefile.PL
Bareword found where operator expected at Makefile.PL line 1, near "<tab>echo"
(Missing operator before echo?)
syntax error at Makefile.PL line 1, near "<tab>echo "
String found where operator expected at Makefile.PL line 1, near "echo "Making target...""
(Do you need to predeclare echo?)
Execution of Makefile.PL aborted due to compilation errors.

I was not sure, so i tried with TAB key replacing <tab>

[localhost:~/documents] keston% perl Makefile.PL

When he says '<tab>echo he means type ' echo'. If you are trying to install dev tools for the PB on ADC, it won't work. You need the latest dev tools which isn't available.

The dev tools from PB actually instaled on 4K46 without any problems (errors during install). It was giving errors on 4K17 & 4F8.

I see that there are several ways that my original post might have been read, so I edited it with clarifications.

Use the 'make' command, on the file called 'makefile', so that we can test make. If you overwrote the file called Makefile.PL, you may need to reload the module.
