in thread miniperl hangs during perl compilation

I checked the set user id for make. It is good. I put some print stmts within the Makefile.PL for a couple of libraries and found that the WriteMakefile () function call is getting stuck - it does not return. Any thoughts ?!!

    It still isn't clear to me from that information what the cause could be. But what about putting the MakeFile.pl into debug mode and setting a breakpoint to that function to investigate what it tries to do exactly when it hangs.

    -M

    Free your mind

      I am not familiar with setting breakpoints. Can you tell me how i can do that?

      Did you see my other post of the truss output? It seems to be running lstat on the directories & files and hangs on one of the NFS mounted directories. I don't have permissions to umount that partition. But I can't figure out why it's trying to do lstats.

      The output that i have attached to the previous post from truss was for this command

      # truss ../../miniperl "-I../../lib" Makefile.PL "INSTALLDIRS=perl" " +PERL_CORE=1" "LIBPERL_A=libperl.a"
      When i tried it with the -d option , i get this error of cannot find Handle.pm and it's looking at empty directories. But i don't know where it's supposed to look for them.
      # truss ../../miniperl -d "-I../../lib" Makefile.PL "INSTALLDIRS=perl +" "PERL_CORE=1" "LIBPERL_A=libperl.a"
