help with "make" error "Missing seperator"
I wish to install the Msql modules for the perl interface to the Mysql databases. I ran the perl Makefile.PL which generated the corresponding Makefile.
Now when i give the "make" command i get the following error: Makefile:83: *** missing separator. Stop. Line 83 is sit .. i have no clue as to what this error is and how to resolve it. Msql version : 1.18.35 perl 5.8.0-88 Linux red hat 9 thanks |
Usually if such a error appears it is the mistake of the one who made the makefile.
I will tell you what ***missing seperator means first *** means fatal error(that is the make can't continue and exits) seperator is any of the seperators (:, =, TAB characters, etc) is missing.make looks for various kinds of separators to help it decide what kind of commandline it's seeing. So I think that you understood the meaning of the missing seperator one. The usual approach to solve the problem is by pressing Tab at the line number you mentioned. |
