Hello all EPICS people,

I've been attempting to install EPICS to my computer running Linux Mint, I am using an link:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2009/msg01867.php

Well I get to the 2nd instruction, namely "install base" and it says the following when I make:

make -C ./configure install 

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/chris/Documents/EPICS/base-3.15.1/configure'

perl -CSD ../src/tools/makeMakefile.pl O.linux-x86 ../..

Cannot create O.linux-x86/Makefile at ../src/tools/makeMakefile.pl line 41.

make[1]: *** [O.linux-x86] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chris/Documents/EPICS/base-3.15.1/configure'

make: *** [configure.install] Error 2

This says that the perl command is not working for some reason, however I know I installed perl.  Does anyone know why this is giving me an error or have you run into this issue yourself?  Please help,

Thank you,

Chris
