Greetings,

I recently stumbled across Solaris::PerlGcc which lets you use gcc to compile Perl modules even if the version of Perl supplied by Sun was compiled with Sun's Forte compiler. Solaris::PerlGcc installed without any fuss whatsoever but when I attempt to actually use it I receive a fatal error.

Per the docs, I'm running the CPAN shell as follows:

perlgcc -MCPAN -e shell

And then installing modules as usual. Unfortunately when attempting to install something as basic as Data::Dumper, make issues a fatal error.

make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target '/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib
+/sun4-solaris-64intConfig.pm'
[download]

Note that sun4-solaris-64intConfig.pm is not a typo and looks like a borked path to me.

By some amazing fluke, has anyone else used Solaris::PerlGcc and received the same kind of error. If so, how did you resolve it?

Thankies.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
