Yeah, I noticed that too! What happened? Can't say. I tried to accept
all the defaults in the Configure process and ran a .gnu config per the
book.
Perl Configure absolutely sucks beyond belief. I'm actually in the
middle of wrestling with it right now. If you want to see just how
horribly perl is packaged, look at what Fedora does to the thing to
get it to work right:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/perl/perl.spec?view=markup
If it really can't guess your arch correctly, you can pass
-Darchname=i686-linux, I think.

EPOX 8KRAI PRO w/3200+ Athlon, 2G of dual-channel PC3200, couple of SATA
drives, Lite-on decimate anything I want DVD/CD burner, decent ATI
Radeon AGP, etc.
Heh, *not* a 486 for sure! :-P I have a couple. Use them w/IPCOP for my
firewall on the cable modem.
Indeed. Why don't you ship it over to me and I'll do some "testing" on it. :)
'Preciate the response. I'm lucky (no work this weekend). I 'll restart
with the PERL and find what his logs are named and save them. I'll post
results either way and a [SOLVED] version if I can see what the cause was.
Keep the output from Configure. It's pretty verbose. Figuring out how
it came to those decisions is a whole nother ballgame, though. :)
Again, thanks for helping/
No problem. Good luck.
