Re^3: building perl 5.6.1 on solaris 8

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

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]
