I am unable to install the module: Math:rime::XS
[snip]

Warning: ExtUtils::CBuilder not installed or no compiler detected

Could it be that the *real* reason it won't build is that
ExtUtils::CBuilder is missing ?

Cheers,
Rob

I did try to install that separately.. and restarted cygwin.

ExtUtils::CBuilder installed without any errors.. But, then again when
I tried to install the Math:rime::XS... the messages comes back
again.

Please help.

Please help.

Today when I got back home... this is what I have to prove that
ExtUtils::CBuilder is there..

Please see below..

And, I tried to install Math:rime::XS again.. again the same issue
about ExtUtils::CBuilder and the other messages first posted.

Today when I got back home... this is what I have to prove that
ExtUtils::CBuilder is there..

ExtUtils::CBuilder is up to date (0.2703).

"That neighbor of mine? Definitely he is OK: I can see light in his window."

To see what is actually the problem, do

perl -MExtUtils::CBuilder -we0

(No output == it can be loaded. *Then* things may be tricky... But
most probably you will get some helpful message...)

Hope this helps,
Ilya
