I’m trying to install FreeB, but when I try to cpan\> install HTML::HeadParser I get this error:

/bin/sh: cc: command not found  
/usr/bin/make --NOT OK  
Running make test  
Can’t test without succesfull make  
Running make install  
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

I reinstalled make, but no succes, do I have to install some other version of make?

Looks like you need to install gcc.&nbsp; But also, see if your distribution has packages for any needed Perl modules before you try to install them with CPAN.

What I mean is, see if your distribution allows you to install (for example) HTML::HeadParser as a package instead of using CPAN to install it.

If you must use CPAN, then the C compiler (gcc) and perhaps some other related development tools must be installed first.&nbsp; The message ‘cc: command not found’ suggests that it is not.

This issues have more to do with your Linux distribution than with OpenEMR.
