Second problem with Digital Unix in the last few days...

Try running "make install" anyway (looks like you did). There is a
timeout problem in some cases.

You didn't build with threads, right? Are you sure Perl passes make test 100%?

So is mine. 8-) Need to understand the environment a bit better, I think.
Once again, are you sure Perl passes "make test" 100% ?
