Boopesh, I just managed to reproduce your error on my computer and attempted to apply my suggestion:
Here is my suggestion.
1. cd down into 0CPAN/Chemistry-Elements-1.01/ in the source code tarball. 2. do the "perl Makefile.PL; make; make install" incantation for Chemistry::Elements 3. cd back up to the main directory and try building all of horae again with Chemistry::Elements installed
That's not quite right. Try this: 1. cd down into 0CPAN/Chemistry-Elements-1.01/ in the source code tarball. ** 2. rm -rf blib Makefile pm_to_blib ** 3. do the "perl Makefile.PL; make; make install" incantation for Chemistry::Elements 4. cd back up to the main directory and try building all of horae again with Chemistry::Elements installed If you don't clean up some of the detritus from the earlier attempt to get this installed, then step 3 does not work correctly. And, in response to Carlo's comment: this underscores a significant advantage to the debian approach of package management. Boopesh's problem would not have happened on a debian system. I am, however, compelled to try to provide system-agnostic build scripts in my perl packages. That said, I could use the CPAN module to resolve horae's requirements. That, however, would require building as root and having the user correctly configure the CPAN.pm module. That configuration isn't a trivial chore even for me!
