RE: Perl with SerialPort


Hi, 
I tried to install Device::serialport i downloaded from cpan page.

i extracted it and startet
perl Makefile.PL

This ended with some error which is logged in config.log.

Here is the part of it, which shows the error

configure:2084: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
configure:2087: $? = 1
configure:2125: result: 
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "Device::SerialPort"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "device--serialport"
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.04"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "Device::SerialPort 1.04"
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "devser-bugs@outflux.net"
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
| 
| int
| main ()
| {
| 
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:2132: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Thanks for help again!
