There should be a version of make in /usr/ccs/bin > > Second, Perl CPAN module asked me for the location of the unix util > 'wget'. Is this required?

Can anyone help me? Well, here's your Dollars' worth of free advice: If you're going to be doing XML processing, it would STRONGLY be in your best interest to get a reasonably complete compiler chain running on that machine, because very soon you're going to want one of LibXML or SAX or friends. Get thee to http://sunfreeware.com/ and get a recent gcc for your platform and while you're there pick up .. well, just about everything else :) It's all in pkgadd format, and you should be able to spend about one day getting all the software you'd ever want on your machine installed without breaking a sweat. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Lawrence Statton - [EMAIL PROTECTED] s/aba/c/g Computer software consists of only two components: ones and zeros, in roughly equal proportions.
