You state "normal perl"... Do you have more than one installed? What distro and version are you using? System perl is almost always at /usr and usually threaded, but often a non-threaded perl is installed elsewhere, say /usr/local. You would need to specify the correct perl when executing cpan (or more precisely the correct cpan). > Howto make cpan install a "normal" verison, which my system can use? > It should be correct.

Math::Pari is used for version 2. > Thanks for any help. -- Brian J.
