Hello, I am trying to install Math::Pari module (needed to install Net::SFTP) in a preferred diretory and came across these errors.
Perl version: 5.10.1
Environment: AIX
PARI/GP version: 2.5.3

I was able to fix this error by modifying /pari-2.5.3/src/headers/pari.h line 59 to point it to /include/pari/mpinl.h
When I tried make again, I got this error... 

$ make

+itializer must be a valid constant expression.

Stop.

There seems to be a problem with the generated paricfg.h so I copied the entire content of /include/pari/paricfg.h to /Math-Pari-2.01080605/libPARI/paricfg.h.
Ultimately, after all the tweaks I've done, I have gotten to this error...

Can someone help me with this? Note that I cannot use cpan to automatically pull all dependent modules because of a firewall setting I cannot change.
