Install finance quote

After trying all I could with fink without any success using the  
commands found in
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSXInstallation#Intel_Macs


I have downloaded Gnucash 2.2.9 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/
and it works fine !

Now I a trying to deal with Finance Quote : I have downloaded Finance  
Quote 1.16 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/finance-quote/files/
I have followed the instructions on the install document :
"One easy way to install the modules that Finance::Quote requires is
to use perl's CPAN module:

	hostname$ perl -MCPAN -e shell (as root)

If you haven't used the CPAN module before, then it may ask you a few
simple configuration questions before you get to the cpan> prompt.
You can install any module from CPAN using:

	cpan> install my::module

Indeed, it's possible to install Finance::Quote and all the modules
it depends upon using:

	cpan> install Finance::Quote

Install instructions
--------------------

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
# make install		(as root)

Couldn't be easier, could it?"

In fact that's not so easy as claimed because I failed with the  
message :
Manifying blib/man3/Finance::Quote::ManInvestments.3pm
xavierlarose-2:finance-quote-1.16 xavierlarose$ cd
xavierlarose-2:~ xavierlarose$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
xavierlarose-2:~ xavierlarose$

Any idea ?
