[alt.sources] Another newbie: Compilation question.

dwight@locus.com (Dwight Tovey) (05/21/91)

I saved the perl source when Larry posted it a while back and I plan on
trying to learn it over the next few weeks.  However, I am having a slight
problem in the regression tests that I haven't had a chance to chase down
yet and I am hoping that one of the experts here would have some ideas.

The platform is a PS/2 running AIX PS/2 release 1.2.1.  The compile ran 
without any complaints, but "make test" gave me:
> ....
> cmd/subval.....ok
> cmd/switch.....FAILED on test 0
> cmd/while......ok
> ....

Executing "perl cmd/switch.t" gives:
> 1..18
> ok 1
> Segmentation fault

I haven't had a chance to go any furthur than this yet, but I plan on
running it through the debugger if I don't get any hints here.

Thanks in advance for any help.
