Thanks for replying. I have installed a freh activePerl build (825): I have - uninstalled ActivePerl form the Windows Control Panel, - deleted all the dir under C:/Perl except the site\lib directory, - run ppm upgrade.
Unfortunatly the flag are not what you described below since I got the following U:\>perl -V:ld ld='link'; U:\>perl -V:obj_ext obj_ext='.obj'; U:\>perl -V:lib_ext lib_ext='.lib'; How can I change this ?

Simplest solution would be to install the latest build of ActivePerl-5.8.9 (build 825) straight over the top of build 819. If, however, you prefer to patch up build 819, go to the "Bugs and Their Fixes" section at http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=614808 and follow the instructions there. You need to make sure that: perl -V:ld specifies 'g++' perl -V:obj_ext specifies '.o' perl -V:lib_ext specifies '.a' The instructions at that perlmonks post should enable you to take care of those 3 items. Your 'perl -V:ldflags' is also wrong - I'm not sure if that matters (I don't think that perlmonks post addresses that issue). If the incorrect ldflags causes errors, it needs to be changed to: '-L"C:\Perl\lib\CORE"' I think you can effect that change by editing the ldflags entry in perl/lib/Config_heavy.pl. Much better just to update your perl to build 825 (or anything between 822 and 825). Cheers, Rob
