The problem: Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lib/odbm.t 127 32512 ?? ?? % ?? 14 tests and 226 subtests skipped. Failed 1/375 test scripts, 99.73% okay. 0/15092 subtests failed, 100.00% okay.
was solved by doing: make distclean rm -f config.sh Policy.sh sh Configure -Ui_dbm I interrupted the manual configuration process by appending &-d to one of the answers. make test (this time all tests were passed) make install My problem was probably caused by the fact that I had eliminated the perl-5.6 version that my Linux vendor had provided me with, in order to install perl-5.8. BTW, it was in the INSTALL.txt: <quote> Here are the Configure command-line variables you can set to turn off various extensions. All others are included by default. DB_File i_db DynaLoader (Must always be included as a static extension) GDBM_File i_gdbm NDBM_File i_ndbm ODBM_File i_dbm POSIX useposix Opcode useopcode Socket d_socket Threads use5005threads Thus to skip the NDBM_File extension, you can use sh Configure -Ui_ndbm Again, this is taken care of automatically if you don't have the ndbm library. Of course, you may always run Configure interactively and select only the extensions you want. </quote> Drieux, thanks for your help!
