Hi,
I am new to Perl installing IO:Socket on solaris 10 box.

I downloaded IO-1.2301.tar.gz extracted and tried to install

Since I dont have cc, I am using gcc instead and is in the PATH.

first command works fine.
=========================
perl Makefile.PL CC=gcc CCCDLFLAGS=-fPIC OPTIMIZE=" " LD=gcc

When I run Make i am finding following error message
====================================================
