in reply to Devel::Dprof Installation Issues

Just a guess: you're trying to compile Devel::DProf with gcc, but your Perl was built with a different compiler (likely Sun's). You need to compile XS modules with the same compiler you (or someone else) used to compile Perl.

If that's not it, post the output of "perl -V". It might give us a clue.

    It does seem to choose gcc, which is evident from the perl -V output below. Does that mean that the perl install was made using gcc as well? If not How should I change it in the perl Makefile.PL?

      Yup, that's a gcc compiled perl alright. Looks like my guess wasn't right.

        I appreciate the idea though, thanks.

    I thought `perl Makefile.PL` would catch the "different compiler" issue?

      Not in my experience, but perhaps someone added code for that recently. It would be a nice feature.
