Hi all,

As the subject says, I'm having trouble compiling 5.6.1 on OS X (and
Darwin).

I did:
        ./Configure -ds -e -Dprefix=/usr -Dccflags="-g -pipe"
-Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile              

'make' works fine; 'make test' generates a few errors which I was told could
be ignored.

When I do 'make install', I get the message:
        make: `install' is up to date.    

Also odd is, if in the directory ./perl-5.6.1, I do './perl -v', I get the
message:
        This is perl, v5.6.0 built for darwin   
This even though I built it from the 5.6.1 sources.

Incidentally, the same actions on Linux (x86) leads to reasonable output;
i.e. make install works;
perl -v gives a version of 5.6.1 (even though make test fails there, too).

Has anybody had this problem ? Is there anybody out there with any more
advice on building this thing ?

Thanks,
terry
