Read the INSTALL file and the README.solaris files for the upteenth time. Following are the changes I make in the configure > sh Configure -Dcc='gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/' * I change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to exclude the /lib and /usr/lib, as recommended in README.solaris * do not use the malloc that comes with perl5, * I keep the /usr/bin/perl (Sun installed) and install the new version under /usr/local/bin. * using Sun make, as, and ld. * gcc version 3.3.2, Solaris 8 (sparc), perl 5.6.1 * Configure runs fine, as well as the make depend it runs. * make fails first on identifying <built-in> in the makefile as well as <command-line>. I remove them both and re-run the make, still get the following error Making x2p stuff make: Warning: Both `makefile' and `Makefile' exist Current working directory /u01/home/znaqvi/perl-5.6.1/x2p make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `<built-in>' Current working directory /u01/home/znaqvi/perl-5.6.1/x2p *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `translators' [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Problem solved. There was a makefile in the x2p directory, I removed the built-in and command line references and the make finished without a problem.	[reply]
