[mv] Still struggling with mv4 installation.

Attempting install on an ISP's server running Perl 5.00503 and BSDI BSD/OS 
4.0.1.  Make install ends prematurely with the message included below.  I 
manually rename minivend.cfg.dist to minivend.cfg (in the vend root), and 
then issue the start server command and it seems to work, but apparently is 
does not, or it dies instantly.  From then on, any attempts to stop or 
restart the server result in the error "Could not lock file: Permission 
denied."

Writing /home/v/visprox/mvend/auto/MiniVend/.packlist
## Differing version of ./perllocal.pod found. You might like to
rm /usr/libdata/perl5/5.00503/i386-bsdos/perllocal.pod
## Running 'make install UNINST=1' will unlink this file for you.

Earlier in the process it fails make test:

link/inetmode.........not ok 5
server/control........not ok 6

I am wondering if these two are related, because there is a TCP Port 
directive in minivend.cfg?

I will just keep trying until my fingers get bloody.  I anyone can shed 
some light on this, I would be much appreciative.  I realize the problem in 
much more likely to lie in the ISP's server setup, but if I am to enlist 
there help, I need to be able to provide them with some meaningful information!
