Hello, I'm running mac os X (10.1.5), and am trying to install perl 5.6.1. i downloaded and unpacked stable.tar.gz from perl.com. There seem to be no special instructions for mac os X at all in the distro, so i thought i could just run Configure.
It has died horribly from several errors, the gist of which seem to be that it can't find the makefile. My best guess is that os X's case-insensitivity misses somewhere - the makefile winds up being named "makefile", but something within Configure or the makefile itself won't proceed without "Makefile". Has anyone seen anything like this in a compile? Is my OS X install simply broken? Any advice or pointers would be muchly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Chaos
