in reply to XS module build not working for Perl 5.8

I've never had this problem.

Did you #include the latest ppport.h?

Also, what OS are you using?

    Ran h2xs -A -n XXX... This creates a new ppport.h file so I assume it is the latest. I have gone back and generated a very simple XS file to see if I still see the problem and I do. The error messages I get when I run "make test" is as follows:

    "sunscape% make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /eng/proj/pacsun/TOOLS/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command +::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

    It doesn't mean much to me. Anyone? Seemes to complain about a "relocation" error. Coincidentally, this is the same error I get when I try to use similar modules created using Swig.
