- I used the hints that Marc Evans posted a couple of months ago to get
- perl 4.035 to compile and pass the tests. However, it doesn't work
- quite right. When I try to run Tom Christiansen's makewhatis script
- (part of his excellent man package), perl seg faults compiling the
- script (it even dies if I use perl -c makewhatis). I've included the
- output of dbx 'where' below. I'm not sure how to proceed from here,
- so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
-
- One other note: nm dies trying to output the symbols in libdbm.a
- during Configure. I took -ldbm out of the library list and nm worked
- fine and perl linked with no problems.
