- Getopt::Long
When it asks you "I found left-over files from a previous version of Getopt::Long. These should be removed. Shall I add the remove instructions?", SAY NO. Saying yes here will instruct it to remove the SYSTEM (root-owned) version of the module, which you don't have permissions to do as non-root. The 'rm -rf' will fail, which will then cause the entire `make install` step to fail.
