[comp.lang.perl] Perl 4.0 on Microport V/386 3.0e??

rock@rancho.uucp (Rock Kent) (04/09/91)

I've been running perl 3.0 since about patchlevel 18, never having too
much trouble in getting it to compile and install.  Version 4.0,
though has got me stumped -- I can compile but "Memory fault - core
dumped" when I make test.  I would really appreciate hearing from
some other Microport 3.0e user (any of us still around?) who has perl 4.0
running.  What do I need to do to the config.sh to get this thing to
work?

For those of you who're still with me, I was able to successfully
complete compilation once I fixed i_time='define' in config.sh.  Make
test (after deletion of the  </dev/tty) fails quite a few of the
tests.  Running them individually yielded:

>for F in comp/cmdopt.t comp/term.t io/print.t op/exp.t op/index.t op/int.t \
>  op/ord.t op/pack.t op/regexp.t op/sort.t op/substr.t lib/big.t 
>do
>  echo "Attempting $F"
>  ./perl $F
>done
>
>Attempting comp/cmdopt.t
>/bin/ksh: 5660 Memory fault - core dumped
>Attempting comp/term.t

>/bin/ksh: 5667 Memory fault - core dumped
>Attempting op/regexp.t
>/bin/ksh: 5668 Bus error - core dumped
>Attempting op/sort.t
>/bin/ksh: 5669 Memory fault - core dumped
>Attempting op/substr.t
>/bin/ksh: 5670 Memory fault - core dumped
>Attempting lib/big.t
>/bin/ksh: 5671 Memory fault - core dumped

I'm not quite sure what to do next.
