Sun, in their wisdom, decided that a C compiler was an optional part of a Unix system. If you want to build Perl/Tk from source, I would suggest first building Perl from source.

If you are on Windows, it's probably easier to get perl from ActiveState. It comes with Perl/Tk. http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ Let me know offlist if you need more help. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
