My appologies if this question is out of context, but I couldn't find any appropriate discussion forum for this. I am trying to install perl 5.8.8 on AIX 5.3 and run into this make error. I have tried both the AIX make as well as the gmake, both result in the following error. Any help will be appreciated.
