error installing ExtUtils::MakeMaker.pm

[sunsetgarden]

Hello,
I was trying to install Lingua-EN-Fathom when I got the error:

Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm

Then I try to install ExtUtils-MakeMaker. The Makefile.PL works fine but when I do "make", I got the error:

make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.

I googled a lot for solutions but still couldn't figure it out. Could someone please help with it?
Thanks in advance!!

I know this is a really old thread, but I'm getting the same error:

Downloaded ExtUtils::MakeMaker and unzipped.

$ perl Makefile.PL
Writing Makefile for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.

Can anyone help me?

I appreciate that it's unlikely to help either of you, but I came across your thread as the first hit when trying to resolve this problem myself. As it happens, I'm not running Fedora, but I figured it was worth writing a response here in case others come across it.

The issue was that I didn't have the correct perl headers. Installing the perl-devel.x86_64 package resolved it.

Hope that helps someone!

ran "sudo yum install perl-devel"
then it built fine
