Well, it's a bug in the Solaris installation, really. :) The Solaris perl not only will ask for and try to demand you have the forte cc but will also not allow non-root users to install private libs. The latter was only around in Solaris 8 and due to a config error that Alan fixed for 9 and 10. Moving installations about and having multiple versions is something leaves noone unscathed. e.
