Not sure why it picked up that make.  Have you set the MAKE environment
variable?

To use the right make, enter the CPAN shell.

$ cpan

Have a look at your "make" configuration

cpan[1]> o conf make
    make               [/path/to/wrong/make]

Change the value.

cpan[2]> o conf make /usr/bin/make
    make               [/usr/bin/make]

You can make the change permanent with "o conf commit," or just keep it
for this session.  Either way, you should not be able to install the module.

cpan[3]> install Digest::SHA1
