I spent the whole day trying to compile Math::Pari with no success. My system is a Solaris 9 sparc, with gcc 3.4.2 and GNU make 3.8.0.

I tried setting many different values for the flags during perl Makefile.PL, including machine=none. But nothing worked, always the same error. Finally I found this: http://www.talkaboutprogramming.com/group/comp.lang.perl.modules/messages/64935.html

And decided to give to try it with an older version of gcc: version 3.1.1. I was afraid it was going to fail because perl was compiled with gcc 3.4.2. Well, I did get a lot of warnings, but it compiled! It also passed 'make test'.

I thought someone could benefit from this.

If someone has a better solution, please share.
