I installed fw_gcc package from SGI. $ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.3 Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. And using gcc I was able to install perl 5.8.5 without any major problem, though I got lots of warnings. Still would be good to find a solution to compile with SGI's cc.
Next step is installing bioperl!

Your config.sh has cppstdin='cc -64 -E' and the relevant test in ./Configure is $cat >cpp_stuff.c <<'EOCP' #define RCAT(a,b)a/**/b #define ACAT(a,b)a ## b RCAT(Rei,ser) ACAT(Cir,cus) EOCP $cppstdin $cppflags $cppminus <cpp_stuff.c >cpp_stuff.out 2>&1 if $contains 'Circus' cpp_stuff.out >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "Oh!
