It would appear that you have perl installed but not ExtUtils::Embed. Are you installing perl modules via cpan or via packages from yum?

Subject: [SR-Users] "EXTERN.h: No such file or directory" error when compiling Kamailio 5.5 on Centos 7

Hi,

While trying to install Kamailio 5.5 on Centos 7 I am getting the following error. Perl is already installed. I verified "EXTERN.h" does not exist on the VM.

# make include_modules="tm app_perl" cfg

# make prefix=/ all

....

Can't locate ExtUtils/Embed.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .).

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
