How should I interpret the above statement? Just tried it out and everything went fine until I got the following error message:

cpan[10]> install YAML
Running install for module ‘YAML’
Running make for A/AD/ADAMK/YAML-0.71.tar.gz
Has already been unwrapped into directory /Users/jon/.cpan/build/YAML-0.71-6dqx2a
Could not make: Unknown error
Warning (usually harmless): ‘YAML’ not installed, will not store persistent state
Running make test

Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

So where do I go from here? How should I interpret the above statement?
