------- Additional Comments From wtogami@redhat.com 2008-02-11 15:52 EST ------- Bad news... I tried sa-compile without that dep, and the result is a totally non-obvious error message. I will ask upstream to see if it is possible to display an obvious looking error message if ExtUtils::MakeMaker is not installed.
