perl 5.8.0. OS? Compiler? are also important issues when comiling. Works fine on Win32 (just tested) and I know it compiles on RH Linux 7.3 with gcc 2.96 as well. The missing separator issue is one you see on Cygwin for example if you try to use make rather than nmake. Read more... (7 kB)	[reply] [d/l]

Hmmm. works fine for me: > perl Makefile.PL Perl's config says that U32 access must not be aligned.

RHEL 3 may have the bug with compiling Perl modules with UTF-8 locale that Red Hat 9 had. The bug in Perl 5.8.0 uses the locale to determine if stdout is Unicode and Red Hat set the default locale to include UTF-8 (en_US.UTF-8). Unluckily, this causes corrupt Makefiles when installing modules. The solution is to set the locale before installing Perl modules. You could set this for root by default, or just before running Perl installs. `export LANG=C` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I got the same result after changing that value.	[reply]

You need to start the install for the beginning after changing LANG. The Makefile is probably corrupt. It simplest just to remove the directory and unpack from the archive.	[reply]
