LIBGHTTP / HTTP::GHTTP Module	Can't Post

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install the HTTP::GHTTP module for Perl but keep failing at the first command, the "perl Makefile.PL".

The error message is the following:

Code

running gnome-config... failed 
using fallback values for LIBS and INC 
options: 
  LIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lghttp' 
  INC='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include' 
If this is wrong, Re-run as: 
  $ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include' 
 
checking for main() in -lghttp... no 
libghttp not found 
Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line 
Or get libghttp from 
  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libghttp/

I know after reading the error message its obvious what needs to be done - install libghttp. The thing is, I've installed the libghttp and libghttp-devel via a .RPM but still the same error. I'm using CentOS.

Does any of you guys have any ideas on what I could do next?

Thanks for the help

did you try this suggestion?

If this is wrong, Re-run as:
$ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include'

You may also want to ask on www.perlmonks.com where there are more active members if you have not all ready.

Thanks for the answer.

Yes I tried installing it with that command line, it didn't work either. The error I get when using the command line is:

Code

 running gnome-config... ok 
checking for main() in -lghttp... no  
libghttp not found  
Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line  
Or get libghttp from  
  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libghttp/

It seems to find the gnome-config, but not libghttp..

Also, I did not post on perlmonk yet, but I will, thanks for the suggestion.

go with perlmonks, my experience in this area of perl is limited.
