Mark,

Problem is still there.
With your suggestion, the Installer does call CPAN.  But it still broke 
at the Tk step as following attached string.

I also tried the installation under MS-DOS command line, rather than 
cygwin,  it calls ppm, failed too, as attached string.

 
Under Cygwin called CPAN

Aha!  We've never had anyone try to install it under cygwin before.  the 
confusion will be that the installer is checking your OS, seeing that it 
is Windows, and is trying to call the ActiveState Perl Package Manager.

You will likely have to install the modules in the modules.conf file by 
hand using CPAN, or you could reconfigure the installer script to use 
CPAN instead of PPM - just add the following line

$OS = 'linux';

just before the line:

print "OS\t\t[$OS]\n";

near the beginning of the install.pl script and that should solve the 
problem... though as I said, we have never yet had anyone attempt to 
install it on CygWin, so it may still be problematic.

let me know how it goes so that I can add this to the documentation and 
modify the install script appropriately.

Cheers!
M
