Sorry if this has been discussed here before. I just recently started following this news group. I have tried, semi-successfully to get perl-3.0@18 up and running on a SCO Open Desktop system. Problems were numerous; yacc bombed (probably SCO's fault), NULL redefinition (problem with SCO's sys/param.h file ??), and the alloca() function couldn't be found when linking the object modules. I put bison1.11 on the system and used it instead of yacc. There were some minor problems with the output of bison in perl.c and x2p/a2p.c. I put some #ifndef NULL/#endif statements in sys/param.h to fix that problem. Finally, I told Configure to include the library libPW for the alloca problem. After many attempts to get all the way thru Configure, make depend, and make, I finally got something that runs. Make test gets thru all the tests except one; op.split, which core dumps in test #5. Anybody else have similar problems with perl on SCO UNIX/ODT? Please e-mail me any pertinant info or tips. Thanks in advance. -- Steve Ralston NCR Corp, PPD - Wichita, 3718 N Rock Rd, Wichita, KS 67226 6091 Product Development (ms 16) Voice-Plus: 654-8058 Internet: S.Ralston@Wichita.NCR.COM Voice: (316) 636-8058 UUCP: ...!uunet!ncrlnk!ncrwic!s.ralston FAX: (316) 636-8889
