Dear All.

I am trying to install perl v5.8.3 on RedHat Linux 9 Shrike.

The Configuration runs ok.

But When I make, I get these errors: 

----------------------------------------------------------------------
+-----
`sh cflags "optimize='-O2'" miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/inc
+lude -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gdbm -
+O2 -Wall
In file included from perl.h:37,
from miniperlmain.c:36:
config.h:3107:9: invalid preprocessing directive #NEED_VA_COPY
make: *** [miniperlmain.o] Error 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

[download]

Can anyone kindly guide me on this.

Thanks in Advance!

Edit: g0n - added code tags
