Re^4: Setuid script not working

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
[download]

as per Configure.pm, I get the following:

./optdef.sh: line 3: setuid-emu=y: command not found
[download]

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.

I don't see setuid-emu http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git?a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=suid, but I do see http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git?a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=emu SUID emulation has been removed for 5.12	[reply]

I found it on the Perl::Configure page http://search.cpan.org/~mschilli/Perl-Configure-0.08/lib/Perl/Configure.pm. However, I guess I lucked out because I am still at 5.10.1. But I should upgrade to 5.12 as you suggested. For now, it may be better to use sudo or su with Expect as Alexander suggested. Thank you once again.	[reply]
