[Arsperl-users] Compiling ARSPerl-1.91 on RHEL 64bit

[Chris F. <cr...@gm...>]

Hello.  I am trying to compile AREPerl-1.91 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS
release 4 update 3, 64bit.  The building of the Makefile completes
successfully, but when I run the make, it bombs pretty quick.  Searching the
mail archives, Googling the error and asking people that know more about
programming than me proved unsuccessful.  The error is below and I will be
forever grateful for any help with this.

Writing Makefile for ARS
=== ARSperl 'make test' configuration. ===

Please enter the following information. This information will be
recorded in ./t/config.cache

If you want to skip the 'make test' step, just hit ENTER
three times. You can configure it later by either re-running
'perl Makefile.PL' or by editting ./t/config.cache

Fair warning: you probably don't want to run 'make test' against a
production ARSystem server.

Type 'make' (windows: 'nmake') to build ARSperl.
Type 'make test' to test ARSperl before installing.
Type 'make install' to install ARSperl.
