1. hi, everybody.

2. i have been trying to install HTML::Strip, a perl module, on a remote non-root directory.

3. i did the following:

gzip -d Module.tar.gz

tar -xof Module.tar

cd Module

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/InstallDir

4. THEN, when i issued the "make" command, i got the following error msg:

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/cc: Permission denied
make: *** [Strip.o] Error 126

what does the above error msg mean? how can it be remedied?

5. for whatever it is worth, i used the same procedure for installing another module without encountering any hitches.

6. thanks in advance.

I'm guessing here (I'm not a Linux guru) but I'd say that you don't have access to a c compiler on your account or it's not located in your path. That module has xs code that needs to be compiled and it can't find cc.
