Re: installing Lingua::LinkParser on Win32

Rob - I sure did download from there.

>>From my working directory in the blib\arch\auto\Lingua\LinkParser
directory there is a lib file named LinkParser.lib, but is created when
I run nmake. There is no *.obj file.

So I am tough out of luck?

Thanks,
Nat
