Second, DSO on Solaris has had a chequered history, I recommend static builds untils you are sure of things. Third, I recommend that you install LWP and the other things that the configuration script is asking for, so you can run the test suite properly. It's easy with CPAN: su - perl -MCPAN -e shell install HTML::HeaderParser etc. Fourth, you should be OK with gcc 3.3.2 and Perl 5.6.1 but why are you using Apache 1.3.22? That's well out of date. Fifth, you need to make sure that your Perl, mod_perl and Apache are compiled with the same compiler. If that means you have to rebuild Perl you should do that first.

I don't think that making desperate symlinks like that is a good idea. Make sure that the configuration scripts know you want to use gcc, you might need to delve inside them to see if the fact you're running on Solaris is confusing them. You could try something like CC=gcc in mod_perl-1.29/src/Configuration to see if that sheds any light. See also mod_perl-1.29/mod_perl_traps.pod for information about Gnu ld and building Perl on Solaris. Did you install gcc yourself? Is it on your path when you configure? Are you configuring as a normal user (i.e. not root)? You should only use the root account for installing, that is the 'make install' step, or for example installing things from CPAN. Phew.
