Hi all,

This is probably a more generic perl-on-Solaris question, but I'll try it
here since after all a
big part of Inline::C's job is compiling C code.

I'm trying to install Inline on one of the Solaris boxes at
cf.sourceforge.net. When I try to
install Digest::MD5, I run into all sorts of compiler problems.

The perl that is installed there is built with 'cc'.
If I put /usr/ucb/bin if my path, I can't compile anything (I get errors on
almost every line).
If I put /opt/SUNWspro/bin, in my path, it says it can't find the license
server.

If one wants to do any kind of no-cost Perl-with-C-modules development on
Solaris, does one absolutely need to build a Perl with gcc (not that I mind
doing that, it's just thast I'm trying
to use an as out-of-the-box environment as possible)?

If not, what's the best way to override the compiler settings when building
modules on
Solaris? Do I need to modify the Makefile.PL for each module I wan't to
install?

Thanks a lot,

Patrick
