in thread Problems building Perl

Seems to belong to the gcc_s library

Crikey ... that's gcc-4.x.x ! I thought the MinGW installer was still installing gcc-3.x.x. (I didn't think to check my gcc-4 installation.)

I guess I should've checked earlier but, Morne, what does gcc -dumpversion produce ?

Thanks for digging that up, almut ... now we just have to work out how it relates to the problem the OP is having.

Afterthought: Morne, are there any other installations of gcc on your computer ? (I'm wondering if there's a second gcc installation that's interfering with the build process. I personally don't have any problem with either gcc-3 or gcc-4 wrt the building of perl-5.10.1 from source.)

Cheers,
Rob

    Hi Rob

    Thanks for the help, I discovered that the install executable does not install all the correct modules for MinGW. I downloaded the modules manuall and re-installed MinGW.

    My perl installation works correctly now and I have been able to run a small perl script
