Perl, however, was compiled with Sun Studio. It stores this information and tries to re-use the same flags. So, your Perl is using Sun Studio flags with gcc. Easiest fix? Install Sun Studio, which I believe is in the package repository, and put it before GCC in your path. Next fix? Edit /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int/Config.pm and edit it to use GCC flags. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
