ARS Perl on NCR Unix

[tim.widowfield <ta...@en...>]

Don't laugh.  Aything's possible, right?

I haven't had much success yet.  I'm using Perl 5.003 and ARS 2.1.3.
Should I jump back a rev. on Perl?

I've attached error messages.  We have two compilers to choose from: cc
(Metaware) and gcc.  With either, compilation fails.  Using "cc" I get
complaints about Perl's av.h.  Using "gcc" I get errors from the ARS.c
file, referencing av.h again.

--------------------------
Here's what I see from cc:
