Installing ARSperl

[<li...@da...>]

Hi all (how many of us are there as yet?)...

I hope I'm not spamming you with something that's been asked,
but my impression is that this list is very new, and that that
is unlikely, so here I go:


I'm trying to install ARSperl on an SGI box...  yeah, I know,
not supported...  but that's what BETA means, right?  so
anyway...  here's what I'm running into:

1)	Some of the filenames (locations for things) are a bit
	weird...  This I can cope with, but here's what I've
	changed:

	problem file	old			new
	------------	--------------------	----------------
	Makefile.PL	/utiloss/bin/perl	/usr/local/bin/perl

	Makefile.PL	/ware/ars/api/lib	/usr/ar/api/lib
	Makefile.PL	/ware/ars/api/include	/usr/ar/api/include

	(Yes, these second two are documented in INSTALL as needing
	changes, but I think the defaults that Remedy supplies
	(/usr/ar, for me, anyway) would be good ones to go with.)

2)	After fixing the above, I can still not successfully run
	Makefile.PL, as it complains that it can't find the
	subroutine called WriteMakefile.  This is fixed when I
	change that call to writeMakefile. (lower case w)

3)	next, it complains about the absence of a "config.sh".
	If I set 'TOP' in the call to writeMakefile, this seems
	to be fixed.

4)	with TOP set to the directory I'm working in, running
	Makefile.PL causes a problem finding ext/util/extliblist
	in that directory.  It still seems to create a Makefile,
	though.

5)	and now I get:

	don't know how to make $(TOP)/EXTERN.h (bu42).

	($(TOP) is expanded in the error message)

So...  it looks like I'm missing something serious.  Any
idea what that might be?

Hope I'm not just being brain dead...  (very possible, I've not
been having the best day...)


Cheers.

	David
