I initially tried compiling 5.8.5 from sunfreeware.com. I faced the same problem.So i decided may be i should try the latest stable one from perl.org. Now i have the same problem on both. I need to compile perl and a few other utilities for my need on a separate mount point.Ultimately I have to move the tar ball of the mount pt to another machine (same config -arch,OS,etc)cause i don't have enough space on it.

I looked at what's actually installed on our (large number of) SunOS 5.9 systems and only Perl 5.6.1 is on them - I think, also based on past experience, that current version numbers under Solaris tend to be somewhat behind Windows and Linux. -M Free your mind	[reply]

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]` [download] 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	[reply] [d/l]

I am running the latest Perl on Solaris 8, 9, and 10. Solaris, btw, is NOT a BSD variant anymore. It has been a System V variant for many, many years now. That said, vani, you have to get us alot more detail. Can you run a truss and see what's going on? I've never had a Perl built fail on me ever and I've been using Perl on Solaris for almost a decade. Maybe an experienced Sysadmin who has access to your system can help you out.	[reply]

I am using GNU's Make. I ran truss on "make" at the parent directory level. Am just adding the last section `Making B (dynamic) Inside B::Makefile.PL before WriteMakefile call wait() (sleeping...)` [download] I ran truss from within the B directory and here's the output. It's pretty big, so am adding some sections that i think are relevant. Please let me know if you need other sections and i will provide them. It looks like it is trying to find Util.pm file Then i find it is doing lstat calls on pretty much the entire filesystem. And some of the directories are NFS mounted, and goes to sleep on one such directory. 3890 open64("/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/Scalar/ +Util.pm", O _RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT 3891 stat64("/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Scalar/Util.pmc", 0xF +FBFF8D0) E rr#2 ENOENT 3892 open64("/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Scalar/Util.pm", O_RD +ONLY) Err# 2 ENOENT 3893 stat64("/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Scalar/Util.pmc", 0xFFBFF8D +0) Err#2 E NOENT 3894 open64("/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Scalar/Util.pm", O_RDONLY) +Err#2 ENOE NT 3895 stat64("./Scalar/Util.pmc", 0xFFBFF8D0) Err#2 ENOENT 3896 open64("./Scalar/Util.pm", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT 3897 getcontext(0xFFBFF758) 3898 setcontext(0xFFBFF758) 3899 stat64(".", 0x0011AE90) = 0 3900 open("./..", O_RDONLY\|O_NDELAY\|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 3901 fstat64(3, 0xFFBFF9A0) = 0 3902 fcntl(3, F_SETFD, 0x00000001) = 0 3903 stat64("./..", 0x0011AE90) = 0 3904 getdents64(3, 0x003BE488, 8192) = 1072 3963 lstat64("./../../epoc", 0x0011AE90) = 0 3964 lstat64("./../../ext", 0x0011AE90) = 0 3965 close(3) = 0 3966 open("./../../..", O_RDONLY\|O_NDELAY\|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 3967 fstat64(3, 0xFFBFF9A0) = 0 3968 fcntl(3, F_SETFD, 0x00000001) = 0 3969 stat64("./../../..", 0x0011AE90) = 0 3970 getdents64(3, 0x003BE488, 8192) = 1432 3971 lstat64("./../../../.", 0x0011AE90) ...
