BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/ted/src/bin/automake line 47. Maybe I need to install something called Struct to perl. I assume it's Class::Struct that I need and not one of Inline::Struct, DynaLib::Struct, Win32::API::Struct, Inline::SLang::Struct, SOAP::Struct, Class::MakeMethods::Template::Struct WDDX::Struct, or some other Struct. trying: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Struct' tries to run ftp, but Windows ftp pops up ftp in another console window where it's obvious that stdio is not being used. There are two ftp programs in /bin, one called /bin/ftp and the other /bin/ftp.exe mv /bin/ftp /bin/ftp.bak solves that problem, but trying perl -MCPAN produces the following message, Please, install Net::FTP as soon as possible. CPAN.pm installs it for you if you just type install Bundle::libnet so the following commands seem appropriate: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::libnet' perl -MCPAN -e 'install Class::Struct' This gives the following error: The most recent version "0.63" of the module "Class::Struct" comes with the current version of perl (5.8.5). I'll build that only if you ask for something like force install Class::Struct Trying perl -MCPAN -e 'force install Class::Struct' gives the same message. Stuck for the moment. Any ideas? Maybe I don't need this version of automake to build GIMP on mingw? Maybe I should back up and try Cygwin instead? ________________________________________________________________ Juno Platinum $9.95. Juno SpeedBand $14.95.
