Re: abort while installing perl in Tru64

Read the output, it says

Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working.
You need to find a working C compiler.
Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendo
+r,
or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/
I cannot continue any further, aborting.

Well, you need a C compiler. Do you have one? If so, how is it called?

Thank you for your reply. Strangely, cc compiler in system works! I can compile a a.out file to print "Hello World!!"(just in perl install directory type cc test.c) I doubt %ENV lead to this issue. But How can I prove my suspicion? I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction	[reply]

Most likely, `cc` is a shell alias. You can check that by typing: `alias cc` [download] This should tell you what `cc` expands to. You can check whether there is a program `cc` in your path by typing `which cc` - most likely that will fail for you too. I think you can tell `Configure` which `cc` to use by giving the `cc` as a parameter: `./Configure cc=/home/xiaoyafeng/bin/cc` [download] ... but likely it's better to set up your $ENV{PATH} so that `cc` is found directly by Configure.

I've checked,cc is not a alias,but it is a link file from /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/drivers. I've tried all night, but still has not found any clue. I posted my question to bugperl. I hope it has a good result. Any way, Thank you very much. I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction	[reply]
