- Make sure you use the latest gcc to compile it, the one provided
- by Cygnus fails to compile Perl correctly. Make sure that /usr/ccs/bin
- is in your path, otherwise, if I remember correctly, Configure fails to
- find nm. Make sure that /usr/ucb is NOT in your path, again if I remember
- correctly, Configure ends up looking in /usr/ucblib and /usr/ucbinclude.
- The later is not ANSI compliant and caused problem with gcc.
- After all this, Perl failed a lot of tests related to numerical
- computations. I eventually picked up a binary that someone provided
- for Solaris 2.0.
- Also, at the time I hadn't received any licences for the Sun's C
- compiler so I haven't tried it.
