Hello,

I'm unable to install ParseExcel, especifically, FmtUnicode, via
CPAN. I get an "out-of-memory" error in the 'make test' phase.

> uname -a
Linux mybox 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Aug 17 18:00:32 EDT 2006
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

R

Hi,

Could you send a trace of the make test phase.

Also, try installing out module outside of CPAN.pm using the usual:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
sudo make install

If the only test that fails in 01_parse.t then you could just ignore
it and force make install.

John.

John,

A copy of my CPAN output is attached.
I've installed the modules manually without any problems, although, I was under the impression that a xls2csv executable would've been created... - but I can work around this.
Thank you so much!
