I have just downloaded perl V3.0@44 and have had no
trouble configuring and compiling it, but on the Sun4
it fails the self test. It reaches io.fs, and never
goes further.

This is on a Sun4 sunos4.1, (lots'a'memory and OpenWin)
linked with -ldbm -lm.

I tried '-O', '-g' and none for the compiler flags,
and tried it with AND without the built-in malloc.

Nothing helps. If anyone else has had this problem on a Sun4 could
you please tell me how to fix it!?

I have it working on the sun3 no problem.

Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to mention thet replies MUST be via email, we dont
get this group at this site (only occasional cross-posts..)

Cheers.
