I'm trying to install MATH::Pari on Solaris 10
cpan install failed
I went into the .cpan/build directory and poked around.
That suggested I poke around in the the pari2.1.7 subdirectory.
Eventually, after much g & g (google and guess), I hit on the idea of ./Configure -a and selecting no optimization and building static.
I got a working executable in /usr/local/bin/gp-2.1 (!)
Now just go up a directory and compile the cpan module.

# perl Makefile.PL paridir=pari-2.1.7

Can anyone A) solve my install problem?
B) tell me why the executable runs but the perl module based on the same code doesn't compile?
C) tell me what an asm-specifier is?
D) tell me what an asm clobber list is?
E) shed any other light on my problem?

And please hurry, I didn't have that much hair when I started.

Thanks guys and girls.

P.S.
# rm libPARI/paricfg.h
# perl Makefile.PL paridir=pari-2.1.7 LINKTYPE=static
# make static
resulted in the same error.
