This is the test for Large File Support, files over 2 gigs in size. Test #6 is attempting to do a tell() on a 4.5 gig sparse file and failed. Other tests further down could also have failed. If you don't plan on using large files I wouldn't worry about it and just go ahead and install that Perl. The reason it failed is because you're using a rather old version of Linux (2.2.14) and a rather old compiler (gcc 2.8.1). I would recommend upgrading if for no other reason than that 2.2.14 has security holes. And I see you're using SMP, if you actually are running a multiprocessor machine you should see a nice performance boost with a newer kernel. > Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 5) configuration: > Platform: > osname=linux, osvers=2.2.14-6.1.1smp, archname=i686-linux > uname='linux lonald.commontown.com 2.2.14-6.1.1smp #1 smp thu apr 13 > 19:55:55 edt 2000 i686 unknown ' > config_args='-de' > hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define > usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef > usemultiplicity=undef > useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef > use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef > usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef > Compiler: > cc='cc', ccflags ='-pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE > -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gdbm', > optimize='-O2', > cppflags='-pipe -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/gdbm' > ccversion='', gccversion='2.8.1', gccosandvers='' > intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8, byteorder=1234 > d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=12 > ivtype='long', ivsize=4, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', > lseeksize=8 > alignbytes=4, prototype=define -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ What about MY need to be generalized and easily dismissed? http://www.goats.com/archive/000221.html
