in reply to Installing Perl 5.10.0: problems with ./Configure

I tried it without the -s (just sh Configure -de -Dusethreads -Dprefix="$HOME/Perl-5-10), and it worked for me.

What operating system are you on? UNIX is a bit vague ;-).

There are a few README.operating_system files in the top level directory, read the one that matches your system.

    cat /proc/version spits out this:

    Linux version 2.6.9-5.ELsmp (bhcompile@thor.perf.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:29:47 EST 2005

    I tried it without the -s also and still no joy :( I've also read through the linux README (the only one that looked suitable) and it didn't mention anything that sounded like it would help.
