Every time I re-build the perl, I had problem with the line: : : config.sh: ../config.sh : rm -f config.sh : ln ../config.sh . : : in the "toplevel" Makefile. Is there any reason these lines must be : here? They're not supposed to be there. They're supposed to be in x2p/Makefile. At some point you forgot to give a -p switch to patch, so it applied the patch to the wrong Makefile. : 2. I'm using perl since 3.0 PL=1. Applied all patches. I'm not sure : when, but from sometime, I had problem with patch on Makefiles. RCS : ids are different every time. I've been applying every rejected patch : manually. : : Are there something wrong in my "patched" source codes? Yes, you shouldn't get so many rejects. I'd get some fresh kits at the current patchlevel and start over. Larry
