The perl you have on Solaris8 is configured to compile with 'cc'. You have not got a 'cc' installed (or at least not in your PATH) It would be in somewhere like /opt/.../SunPro/bin/cc /usr/ucb/cc is just a wrapper on the real compiler - and you do not want to use that wrapper even if you have the real compiler. > >SunOS ecst8 5.8 Generic_108528-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 ># pwd >/tmp/Date-Calc-5.0 ># perl Makefile.PL >Warning: prerequisite Bit::Vector 5.7 not found at (eval 1) line 220. >Writing Makefile for Date::Calc >Writing patchlevel.h for perl (5.00503) ># make >cc -c -xO3 -xdepend -DVERSION=\"5.0\" -DXS_VERSION=\"5.0\" -KPIC >-I/usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/CORE Calc.c >/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed >*** Error code 1 >make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `Calc.o' ># -- Nick Ing-Simmons http://www.ni-s.u-net.com/
