I think if I leave out /usr/lib64, perl won't compile. I've tried so many variations they kind of blend together The make command gives this error: make: *** No rule to make target `<command-line>', needed by `miniperlmain.o'. Stop doing make -f Makefile let's perl compile, except for x2p, which gives a similar error. I've worked around this by taking out lines from the makefile like: av$(OBJ_EXT): <command-line> The main reason for wanting 5.8.x is I have some legacy apps that use CGI::Builder, which won't compile under 5.10. At this point I'm going to focus on getting it to build on 5.10, since that actually has a working mod_perl binary for my AMD64 box. Thanks for the help so far.
