Description Christoph Bussenius 2006-02-01 07:45:38 UTC

I tried to install the Perl module IPTables::IPv4 with g-cpan.
It failed with the following errors:

Installing modules in /usr/lib/IPTables-IPv4:
install -d -m 755 /usr/lib/IPTables-IPv4
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /usr/lib/IPTables-IPv4

I used g-cpan-0.13.02.

Unfortunately, this will have to be a case of can't fix. The problem looks to be a bad makefile upstream (doesn't except PREFIX or DESTDIR based on your results), and there isn't much we can do in g-cpan to patch a file on the fly for that. Sorry,
