permission denied installing package (make files)

[Brian Bratcher]

Hi everyone,

Im new here and new to this version of Linux. Im running a new install of Fedora core 11.
Im in the process of setting everything up as a home server full blown from my home.
It's dls.

I was trying to get ddclient to work. I got it all setup. Then I get error
saying it requires IO::Socket::SSL and it's not installed. I searched the web
for all the info I could, and found cpan. I downloaded NET::SSLeay and ran
Makefile.PL (./Makefile.PL) it installed just fine.

So I went back and downloaded some more of them. I tried to make and install them.
I got permission denied. oops I needed to be root. So I su root. Tried again.
permission denied. I logged out and logged in directly as root. permission denied.

can anyone please help with this?

I have programed in perl along time agao apparently thing have changed alot.
I also programed in C++.

I also would like a little more info on getting cpan and install in on this machine aswell

please email this directly to me if you would

***@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance
Brian

You should have first tried to use the package manager to install RPMs instead
of installing from source. The update repository has the current version 3.80
of ddclient and also provides its dependencies.

It's not a good problem description. You have to say explicitely what "they"
are. Remember for the next time to copy and paste a log of what you did so
that someone who wants to help can see exactly what was going on. See
<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html> and
<http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> for more details on that
topic.
