Thanks for that information. Since my colleague had compiled 5.8.1 with gcc 3.2 on solaris 2.6 without any problem. I have just started the same combo on solaris 2.9. If that does not work, i will try 5.6.1.

Was looking at my config log and found this. Would this be causing an issue? 

<dld.h> NOT found.

dlopen() found.

Do you wish to use dynamic loading? [y]

And i answered yes for dynamic loading. And i don't have dld.h on my machine. But since it said it found dlopen(), i did not bother. It would just use dl_dlopen.xs, rit?

Can someone throw some light on this, if this is an issue i should look into? But again, i just want to remind that, the miniperl hang did not happen for all the libraries.
Thanks
