Re: can't seem to install local::lib in dreamhost

If all you tell us about is that you did it wrong, you're just going

to be told

to do it right.  You can avoid this by actually telling us everything

you did

in your first email:

the same error came up denying me access to run "make install".

Here's how my installation looked like.

 Thanks for helping:)

- ExtUtils::MakeMaker ...missing. (would need 6.31)

- ExtUtils::CBuilder  ...loaded. (0.18)

- ExtUtils::ParseXS   ...loaded. (2.15)

- ex      ...missing. (would need 0.28)

- CPAN                ...missing. (would need 1.80)

Huh? What is installing CPAN here? This is nowhere near a full log..

Can you rm -rf your ~/perl5, and give us a full untrimmed log of bootstrapping local::lib _only_, as documented with the _FULL OUTPUT_, and without random other stuff.

Cheers
