This package comes with a sample program that I can try to install in /home/cpanrun/pa-risc1.1/build/5.6.1/bin. Note that you can avoid this question by passing the '-n' option to 'Makefile.PL'. Install gloss.pl, a commandline graph layouter ? [y] y You don't seem to have the optional 'Graph::Directed' package. Not fatal. You don't seem to have the optional 'Graph::Undirected' package. Not fatal. You don't seem to have the optional 'gnuplot' program. Not fatal Checking if your kit is complete...
