Morn folks! We just got in some DECStation 5000, model 200 running ULTRIX 4.1. and I would like to put in the lastest stable release of Perl. I have unpacked the 33 kits for @kit44. Can anyone out there tell me what flags I need to get it to compile? Thanks! Don -- Donald M.

When it pauses and prints "If you need to edit config.sh, do it as a shell escape here:", take Configure up on the offer. Type "! vi config.sh". Now search for d_volatile. Change the 'define' to 'undef', write, and quit. Compile away. Configure takes care of all the other flags and magic incantations. Frank

Change the 'define' to 'undef', write, and quit. Compile away. Configure takes care of all the other flags and magic incantations. I agree with the volatile comments (I changed the hints file instead of editing config.sh--see below). In addition, I had to tell Configure that getgroups() returns int not gid_t. Other posters have noted that, older versions of the MIPS compiler could not correctly optimize some of the files but my system did not have this problem. I am assuming we are referring to Perl 4.003 not Perl 3.x. hints/ultrix_4.sh ccflags="$ccflags -DLANGUAGE_C -Olimit 2900" d_volatile=$undef Allan Gottlieb
