I have been trying to get this installed for a few days now on a HP-UX 11 machine so that I can install Net::SFTP.

I have configured pari-2.1.7 but not installed it as I understand I only need the sources to install Math::Pari. Make test and make install always get me to the same point, an error from ld about duplicate symbols.

I have included the output from make test. I configured pari as such: sh Configure -a -s --host=none --prefix=/local/dir/pari.

I have tried to configure pari and build Math::Pari with dynamic linking as well to no avail. Hoping the wisdome of the sages can help me....

I generated the Makfile for Math::Pari like this: /opt/perl5/5.8.8/bin/perl "-I/local/perl/lib/site_perl" Makefile.PL machine=none LINKTYPE=static PREFIX='/local/perl/lib'

make test outbput:
