- Greetings. I have made a few iterations now on trying to install perl
- on a DECstation 5000 and don't seem to be successful. Everything
- compiles ok, but when I run "make test" afterward I get the following 3
- errors:
-
- op/eval........FAILED on test 9
- op/s...........FAILED on test 40
- lib/big........../lib/bigint.pl did not return a true value at ./lib/big.t line 2.
-
- Per the README clues I tried adding -DCRIPPLED_CC and also tried
- disabling optimization by adding -O0 (but not both at the same time) and
- got the same results each time. I will admit that I made some guesses
- during Configure as I didn't know all the answers off the top of my
- head.
-
- If there is a well-known answer to this problem I would appreciate
- someone forwarding it to me. Otherwise if I could look at the config.sh
- from a system on which it is working properly perhaps that would be of
- help. Thanks for any assistance.
