As another datapoint to this thread-- using Compaq's commercial compiler, amanda 242p2, and tru64 5.1A: perl was found OK and the configure completed successfully. my configure line: ./configure --without-server --with-user=snyder --with-group=wheel Output of configure wrt file locking (these are cached only because I didn't save the results before rerunning it-- the results were the same): checking whether posix fcntl locking works...
