If you run 

perl Makefile.PL --help

you get more options you can pass to the Makefile.PL command.
(for includefiles and library-paths).

Does this work and solve your problem?

I have no Solaris 10/OpenSolaris available for testing,
what are the conditions I can use to check for 
"Makefile.PL runs on Solaris 10/OpenSolaris"?

Why is there a need to define 'gss_nt_service_name'
if 'GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE' is available?

'gss_nt_service_name' is never used in GSSAPI.pm,
I don't understand why there ist a need to define it?


Thank you,
