Update-MakeMaker.sh fails - what am I missing?

[Brian Parish]

Thanks for the reply Michele.  That would seem to be at least part of
the answer as installing perl-devel made Update-Maker work.  I now get a
better class of error message running install.sh:

Installing

RPM build errors:
    File not found:
/var/tmp/perl-Net-CIDR-0.09-3-root/usr/share/man/man3/Net::CIDR.3pm

I presume it's the bzip2 problem that causes the glitch.  I installed
rpm-dev as well by the way.

Any ideas on this?

thanks again and best regards
Brian
