I am trying to install perl Lingua onto a unix system (ubuntu, latest version). Of course I am root. when I go into the package to install using 'perl Makefile.pl' I get this dumb error:

[root@csisl27 Lingua-Lid-0.01]# perl Makefile.PL
/opt/ls//lib does not exist at Makefile.PL line 48.

I have tried playing with the path on line 48, nothing changes, here is what line 48-50 looks like:

Line 48: die "$BASE/lib does not exist"     unless -d "$BASE/lib";
Line 49: die "$BASE/include does not exist" unless -d "$BASE/include";
Line 50: die "lid.h is missing in $BASE/include" unless -e "$BASE/includ/lid.h";

The variable $BASE is declared as this:

$BASE = "/opt/ls/"         if ($^O eq "linux" or $^O eq "solaris");
$BASE = "/usr/local/"      if ($^O eq "freebsd");
$BASE = $ENV{LID_BASE_DIR} if (defined $ENV{LID_BASE_DIR});

Now the perl program I am trying to write simply look like this (just my base):

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 use Lingua::LinkParser;
 use strict;
 print "Hello world!\n";

When I run this trying to use Lingua, here is my error:

[root@csisl27 assign4]# ./perl_parser_1.pl

Tried insalling this from cpan, still doesn't properly work.
