I run on Mac OS X 10.5 and I want to write a program in Perl. However, I need to install the module RDF::Trine and DBD::CSV and I got an error when I install both.

If I write : 

install RDF::Trine

The error is : 

Files=51, Tests=5,  2 wallclock secs ( 0.21 usr  0.18 sys +  1.30 cusr  0.51 csys =  2.20 CPU)
Result: FAIL
Failed 49/51 test programs. 5/5 subtests failed.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2
  /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

And the error for the installation of DBD::CSV is : 

Files=21, Tests=18,  1 wallclock secs ( 0.10 usr  0.08 sys +  0.85 cusr  0.26 csys =  1.29 CPU)
Result: FAIL
Failed 16/21 test programs. 2/18 subtests failed.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255
  /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

Do you have a solution for me?

    Could you post the full test output? It's a bit hard to tell what's wrong without that output. Commented Aug 12, 2010 at 19:23
  • I'd like to answer to you request. However, now when I enter something in the cpan shell, I've this error : Argument "yes" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /Library/Perl/5.8.8/Term/ReadLine/readline.pm line 2192. And the program crashs... Do you know the reason of this? It could be because I ran 2 process of CPAN and he asked me some strange questions... Commented Aug 12, 2010 at 19:57
  • Do you have any idea why my program cashs? Commented Aug 13, 2010 at 9:24

Can you post the output of:

cpan RDF::Trine

or even

cpan Bundle::CPAN

A LOT of perl developers develop on MacOS. I'd be surprised if it didn't work out of the box.

Updated, easier to read cpan output here than in a comment. It looks like your cpan is set to ignore dependencies:

prerequisites_policy is the configuration variable that controls this behavior.

Confirm the setting by running o conf prerequisites_policy and if it's set to anything other than ask, run:

o conf prerequisites_policy ask
o conf commit

(Those are lowercase letter "oh")

Then repeat your cpan commands.

Downvote for teaching sudo cpan. This is not a good idea at all because the tests run with root privileges. Instead, they should be used only for installing into system locations. make_install_make_command and mbuild_install_build_command exist for this reason.
@daxim - Sorry about that. I've been doing it like that for years. does the cpan command default to using sudo if it's available automatically?
@user376112 -- you can post that output as a new answer, to your question, or edit your original question to include this output. It'd be easier to read in those cases than as a comment. However -- from the snip you did paste, it looks like you also need ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Try installing that via cpan, then retry your original list. cpan is supposed to be able to track this and do it for you, so something is not quite kosher here.

You can install perl module forcefully

perl –MCPAN –e’force install “RDF::Trine”’

Where RDF::Trine is the module name
