Thanks for your comment, Sherm.
I did
# cpan Wiki::Gateway
. It was *definitely* on a roll. You get warnings here and there, but
where I think this process jumped the shark was when it couldn't find
headers for python.
After that, I got into a loop that was always asking me about my python
install, which is almost certainly equivalent to whatever is untouched
out of the ubuntu jaunty box for python.
The terminal session went on so long that I can't capture it. I can
capture the parts where things were going wrong repetatively and
circularly. I include the terminal session from an approximate midpoint
to the end after the sig of this message.
Whatever software I invoked was pretty specific:
...

answer the questions yourself. Here is what Python said:
....
I think everyone agrees with me, that the notion of me going in unawares
and "fixing it," would all but guarantee a ten-fold setback.
I would a appreciate a couple opinions on how I might proceed.
What a great day to be putzing around at one's own house. I'm planting
a tree. What could go wrong?

Many Linux distros split things into separate -dev and sometimes -doc
packages for development & documentation related files, respectively.
So even though your system has enough of Python installed to run .py
scripts, it may not have enough to compile C extensions for it. Use your
package manager to see what package provides Python.h, and to make
sure that package has been installed.

I meant more generally. The execute bit on a directory means 'you can
lookup files within this directory'. If you take the execute bit off all
files under that directory become inaccessible.

You will find you have a chicken-and-egg problem here: in order to set
up a private module directory, you need to install local::lib; in order
to install local::lib, you need somewhere to install it. local::lib has
a bootstrap procedure for getting around this, which is documented in
its docs. Until you have the module installed, it's easier to read them
on search.cpan.org than by poking around in the tarball.

IMHO you keep making the same mistake: you go at something without any
understanding of how it works, and blunder around doing random things
until something appears to do what you wanted. This is not a sensible
way to use a computer: they are designed to make sense, so if things
aren't making sense you're using them wrong.

Start with something simpler. Inline and Inline::Python are both deep

I believe I have changed the one thing I did back to its original state:
pwd
/usr/share
# ls -ald perl
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-04-20 07:59 perl
(compares to:)
> drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-04-20 07:59 perl
So Ben asks me what happened when I changed this permission. I've got a
bit of a learning curve here, and I've been trying to figure of what my
OS is telling me, but I have trouble with some of it.
First, how am I too understand the output of this command?
# ls -a perl
. .. 5.10 5.10.0
# man ls
(yes I manned it already)
Second, what is the difference between these two?
# ls -l perl
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-12-13 18:06 5.10 -> 5.10.0
drwxr-xr-x 50 root root 12288 2010-10-08 23:11 5.10.0

I already started, Ben, so there's no turning the dial back there.

I think I made some good choices here, but I didn't succeed:

Ok. I semi-understood that, already. The
ls -ald perl
command challenged my understanding here. I'm all but completely
unaware of what happens when the perl interpreter is invoked on linux.
On my previous operating system, it was a topic not worth pursuing.

I disagree with your crystal ball output for my thought process, my
development ethic, and my history of being able to communicate very well
with computers.
As for me, I'm more hermetic; if I drill as a first, best guess, I
usually find metal. It only gets worse if I try to run away from this
tendency.

Me too, but such people should not attempt to become programmers :).

Yes. You should now have a successful installation of local::lib, and if
you try to install something straightforward (like, say, an upgrade of
Scalar::Util) it should go into your ~/perl5/lib directory.

Given your other post, I presume you mean Inline::Python fails these
tests? I can't tell what's going wrong here without seeing the test
output from Inline::Python. Since the installation got as far as 'make
test', it sounds like you've installed all the right headers, but
something else important is going wrong.

Na, jue, I'm prettymuch just throwing up the rest of the garbage at the
rim now, in the interest of full disclosure:
