Failing to install IPTables::IPv4 perl module

  1. Default Failing to install IPTables::IPv4 perl module

    Hello all,

    I'm running the following command:
    cpan -i IPTables::IPv4

    and it compiles ok but fails during the tests phase - see output below.

    I've installed other perl modules that way without any problem (LWP and
    net::ip).

    Any idea what could be wrong? COuld I just ignore these error messages
    and force the install?

    Thanks,
    David

    Just asnaphot of the error I'm getting:

  2. Default Re: Failing to install IPTables::IPv4 perl module

    I got it working without any pbm on another machine with pretty much
    same SLES 9 distrib installed. Obviously there is something different
    on my first machine. Any idea?

    No - it's failed every single test (except the 2 test scripts that were
    skipped). There's something fundamentally wrong here - and it's possibly not
    too hard to work out, by examining the actual tests that are being run.
    Start by trying to work out what could be causing test 1 in each of those
    scripts to fail. It's quite likely the same test each time - and possibly
    tests something basic like trying to load the module you've just attempted
    to build.

    Cheers,
    Rob
