Installer failed on macOS – Easy Workaround #22

Closed jerrykrinock closed 8 years ago

jerrykrinock commented 8 years ago

When I attempted to install on macOS 10.12,

cpan install Crypt::PRNG

installer failed because the gzip and tar programs are in /usr/bin instead of /sw/bin. To work around that, create /sw/bin if necessary and then make symbolic links.

mkdir /sw
mkdir /sw/bin
ln -s /usr/bin/tar /sw/bin/tar
ln -s /usr/bin/gzip /sw/bin/gzip

Hi,

I am afraid that this is related to your CPAN setup

Try:

cpan
cpan> o conf

You will probably see something like tar [/usr/bin/tar] - that should be reconfigured in your case to /sw/bin/tar

Another option is to use a tool called cpanm AKA cpanminus simply:

cpanm Crypt::PRNG

Thank you. I was unaware of cpan config. Issue is closed
