Thanks Karl. I pulled down the snapshot (perl-f4b5e62) and ran sh ./Configure -Dprefix=/u/jgood/local -Dusedl -Dusedevel -de The output looks better. The only conditional declaration error left is the extra #endif at the end of perly.c. Of course the missing header errors are there, but that should be OK for now. I will move on to the actual make issues in another thread. > > I may misremember, but I think we only have rsync available for blead > and the maint branches.

I'm currently relying on the default z/OS make. I'll have to pull down GNU make and diff from the ported tools site. Thanks for your help. John Goodyear
