From kumudu_s@hotmail.com

I use " sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -des "

It repeats the following infinitely

current working directory /kumudu/lan/app/pkg/prl/perl5.005_03
/bin/sh Makefile.SH
Extracting Makefile (with variable substitutions)
make depend MAKEDEPEND=
sh ./makedepend MAKE=make

Please help me to sort this out.

Thanks
KUMUDU

Hi!
I am trying to install perl on a sparc 10 with Solaris 2.6

Last time this turned out somebody had the system time way in the past.

Check the timestamp on ./README (sic!), it should not be newer than Makefile.

I vaguely recall you can get this behaviour if you build in a
memory-mapped tmp filesystem. If /tmp is memory mapped, and you're
building there, try building somewhere else.
