I only include this message in this group because this is only an issue in FC4.
I am trying to install the Perl module Audio::Mad from CPAN. It fails on the compile of "Mad.xs" and gives errors speaking about "lvalue" etc (I have included the errors at the end of this message).
I'm not a C programmer (hence Perl) and have no idea how to fix this. I never had a problem installing on previous versions of Fedora Core. I attempted to contact the author of the module, but I have yet to get a response, and I doubt I will considering the last time the module was updated was three years ago; and I doubt the author is checking his SF email.
I noticed in the FC4 release notes about gcc 4.0 having changes reguarding "lvalues", but I haven't a clue how to fix it.
This is hindering development work as I need that module. If anyone could please help, I'd be most thankful.
