This has lingered long enough without response. Sorry it took me a while to get back to it after initially seeing it. I had this same problem a couple of years ago. It does appear that Math::PARI has an active maintainer again so you might try dropping him a line about this issue.
I solved it by testing each previous version (of libPARI) until I hit one that would install cleanly. As much as it stinks to not have the most recent version of something, a working version is better than no version. HTH, http://danconia.org Thanks for the response. I did manage to solve the Math::Pari install problem by following Jeff Eggen's idea about configuring it with machine=none. I have no idea about whether or not, as he mentions, it's unusably slow because I proceeded with the rest of the Net::SFTP install and got similarly hung up on the install for Math::GMP. (Un)fortunately enough time has elapsed on this that the Powers That Be decided to shelve this project and go a different way. So for now I'm off the hook. Ironically, we have Net::SFTP running fine in other environments. It's just this one box... Thanks again for the help! richf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
