perl - How do I install Devel::Cover on ActivePerl 5.8.7? -
cpan fails with this strange error as follows
Error: Install Pearl Libraries or Perl Unable to locate the source code. It is recommended that you install Perl in a standard location before the extension is built. Some precompressed versions of Pearl do not have this header file, so you can not create extensions. In this case, please install and install your Pearl with a new Perl distribution. This usually solves this kind of problem (you receive this message, because the makemaker "D: \ fbl_esc_bcd_tb \ tools \ perl \ lib \ CORE \ perl.h" can not be found) Running Testing Some Problems Maybe, interrupted? Running test will not test Install some problems, maybe interrupted? Will not be installed
The problem is that I can not install new active Pearl versions in this environment and the device I want to cover does not run out of this environment.
Long answer: This is not a general message from MakeMaker, so I am ready to estimate an ActiveState addition of it, but this is probably true; The problem is what the error message says; Some important files in your distribution are disappearing, especially C header files for Perl, so it can not compile the required C code for module like Dewell :: Cover. It is often the result of a strenuous sysadmin or packager that is looking to save some dozen k of disk space. You can take possibly , copy them to the CAEECC and it will work probably it will not do anything worse.
I agree with Evan that this is a Windows machine, assuming you should switch to Strawberry Pearl which performs better than ActivePerl with the other Pearl Community.
Otherwise, ActiveState is a commercial company and has paid Perl support. Give them a ring.
