Author Nasty 'make' errors when installing Tk on OS X
Gregory Garretson

Hello,

I'm attempting to install Tk on a Mac running OS 10.2 (Jaguar). I have
installed the latest stable version of Perl (5.8.5--hope *that's* not
the problem!) and am trying to install Tk version 804.027.

Here's the rub: When installing (in XDarwin), I get these errors:

....
_Perl_sv_setpv
make[2]: *** [../../blib/arch/auto/Tk/X/X.bundle] Error 1
make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

This occurs whether I'm using CPAN or installing manually. I even
tried installing version 800.024 as per Steve Lidie's instructions at
http://www.lehigh.edu/~sol0/Macintosh/X/ptk/ , including the MMutil.pm
patch. But I had the same results.

I *do* have the Apple Developer Tools installed, and I did make sure
to configure Perl using 'useshrplib=true', so I'm out of ideas. I have
no idea what these errors mean. Obviously I'm in over my head. Can
anyone suggest anything to try next?

Thanks much,
