Gack, once again guilty of assuming all prospective readers are clairvoyant. OS = Linux (Redaht 7.3) Perl = perl-5.8.0 (RCS from a few mnths ago) gzip = gzip 1.3.3 (PS- I'm taking the liberty of posting the discussion back to perl beginners... it may help someone else) > I've found when a modules fails to compile via CPAN, that going to the > .cpan/build directory under my users home directory (for root, > /root/.cpan/build) and looking for the uncompressed directory of the > module in question.

I've also found that to be the case sometimes and use the same technique you described... go in there and run stuff manually. That was the source of the `make' warnings/errors I posted. Digging further on this I discovered by running `make' on this same package on a machine where I had no trouble, that the output is different. Looks like different stuff being passed to compiler: Here is what I did on the problem machine and on one where I saw no problem: In PerlIO* top level: run `make distclean' perl Makefile.PL make 2>&1|tee MakePerlIO_$host There is quite a lot of difference in the output, but I'm not sure what to make of it. Posted here: http://home.jtan.com/~reader/exp/PerlIO Includes full `make' output on both systems and diffs in Makefile generated by `perl Makefile.PL' and the actual output If you want to examine them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
