As Anonymous Monk has suggested, can you show us what comes before the warnings/errors you've just posted.

Are you using the same compiler to build Lingua::LinkParser that built your perl ?

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks for the prompt responses. Here's the immediate output after running 'make' command.

Also the contents of Makefile.PL is

WriteMakefile(
   'NAME'         =>   "Lingua::LinkParser",
   'VERSION_FROM' =>   "lib/Lingua/LinkParser.pm",
   'DEFINE'       =>   "-DDICTIONARY_DIR=\\\".\\\"",

## if your libs are in a nonstandard location, changes these,i.e.:
  #   'LIBS'      =>   "-L/dbrian/link-grammar-4.4.3/link-grammar/.lib
+s/
-llink-grammar",
   #  'INC'       =>   "-I/dbrian/link-grammar-4.4.3/link-grammar/",

);

The interesting errors are before that.
