Re: HELP: language option software package not installed

     It's all good.....  The root of the problem lied in the fact that
the default perl install for Solaris8 was built using SUNWspro (Sun's
compiler), and therefore the Config.pm had flags/paths/arguments to
reflect that compiler....  However, we are using the sunfreeware
installs of GCC and associated tools....  The bottom line is that the
Config.pm had to be adjusted to use GCC instead of cc....  Thanks for
the help.
