[ic] Still Clueless

[Frederick R. Matzen]

I'm still not getting ./configure to work and I've the admin install the
BUNDLE::INTERCHANGE packet, I've installed everything I could find. I don't
LINUX and I don't know PERL. I've had the same error upon trying to install
4.7 and 4.8.

lsh107:~/interchange-4.8.1$ ./configure

 Interchange Version 4.7.x Configuration

Found Perl 5.6.0 as /usr/bin/perl

If you get a CPAN error, rerun the configuration and it should go away.

opendir(./../..): Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/FindBin.pm line

Can't write uid file: Permission denied
make: *** No targets.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `test'.  Stop.

I am about to give up. I don't know what to ask the admin to do or what to
do myself. I don't know if I'm logged in as ROOT or how to check. I also
don't know if the system is on REdHat 7 yet or how to check (without
actually asking that is).

This will be my last request for help. If I don't get it form your replies
this time I give up and will use Agora.cgi :-(

thanks! You've all been very kind to help a novice.
