I use a downloadable version (3 CD's). I installed MDK10 from scratch
with all de libs that I could found, but the result is the same.
Compilation seems to be OK, but testing is NOT.

I was looking for a depency list for testing a compiled perl module, but
could not find it. Does this thought make any sense?

Further I tried with Fedora Core 2. This gives me the same result:
compilation OK, but testing NOT. Allthough the number of failed tests
is less compared to MDK.

Is there a downloadable distribution that can be seen as a good starting
point for getting Gtk2-perl to a good end.

I tried the following force install, but this gave no different result.
"perl -MCPAN -e 'force install ..."
