in reply to Setuid script not working

My guess is that you might need to download and install the perl-suidperl rpm for Fedora 10.

    This would not be possible since since the perl install is a custom build, and not from an RPM. Are you saying that there is a switch to turn on setuid scripts for the Configure script (and by default it is off)? In that case would you please elaborate, since I didn't find that?

        Monks,

        You were absolutely right - it is the "setuid-emu" flag to the configure script that is causing the headaches. I rebuilt a distro with "Do you want to do setuid/setgid emulation? y" and now the script works.

        However, when I try to build it with the following configure command:

        ./Configure -Dprefix=/home/csit/usr/perl -Dsetuid-emu=y -des
        as per Configure.pm, I get the following:
        ./optdef.sh: line 3: setuid-emu=y: command not found

        Am I doing something wrong? Can someone point out the correct CLI parameter that would enable me to install it silently?

        Once again, thank you for your responses.
