[comp.lang.perl] Perl 4.010 probs on a Sun 386i

dmccart@elvis.intel.com (D. J. McCarthy ~) (06/22/91)

My setup:  a Sun 386i running SunOS 4.0.2.

Problem: 'make test' says:
base/term......FAILED on test 0
Failed a basic test--cannot continue.
*** Error code 2 (ignored)

running TEST from the t directory says the same thing.  Running
base/term from the t directory says:
1..6
Segmentation fault

Oops!  So now what?  I tried to pick sunos_4_0_2 from that list
Configure presents you early on, and got an error message (something
about FPUTS_BOTCH not being found).  So I made absolutely sure that
-DFPUTS_BOTCH was in the option line, aling with -I/usr/include/sun
and -I/usr/include/sun386 just to be on the safe side.


	On the other hand, it compiled and tested just fine on a Sun
4/280 running SunOS 4.0.3 - as long as I used cc and not gcc (gcc wanted
to #include stdlib.h all over the place, and I didn't have it).


	While I'm complaining... I downloaded the nutshell scripts from
jpl-devvax earlier today and I *still* can't get ch6/passwd to run using
either 3.044 or 4.010!  [ I feel silly complaining about this, though,
since I'm sure the answer is in the book somewhere - it's just that I
don't have access to my book at right this moment, huh, Randal?  :-) ]
