[SOLVED] Installing from source..

[kronicllyill]

Okay. To start off, I should mention I'm very noobish on installing from source in Linux. I am currently using Fedora 8 and I've come to realize that YUM seems to suck because it doesn't list recent updates to programs I'd like to use. I downloaded the tarballed source and unpacked the archive. I changed the directory into the created folder and ran './configure'. When I did this, it was revealed that I was missing a Perl module that was required. Knowing this, I went to CPAN and downloaded and unpacked the source for the Perl module that it said was required. I then followed these instructions to install the Perl module HERE.

When running 'perl Makefile.PL', I found out that I need a Perl module for that one. I downloaded that Perl module and did the same thing. Running 'perl Makefile.PL' was successful. I then proceeded to use 'make' to compile the source. This is when I'm given the following error:

[kronicllyill@localhost ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.44]$ sudo make
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.

Maybe this is something simple, but I'm not sure what it's wanting me to do here. Can someone please shed some light on this for me?

Sorry bout jumping the gun on that. I found the solution for this HERE.
