Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me identify the problem I'm encountering with a new PERL built with gcc on an AIX box. (I'd also appreciate any help in redirecting the request, if appropriate - TIA) The symptoms are that the debugger doesn't seem to be able to find the source code of the main program. It cannot list, or set a breakpoint. The ability to view variables with "x" seems hit-or-miss. I've included the basic info from the build.
Any help will be much appreciated.
