It appears that you have something in /usr/local that is getting in the way; you'll need to move or remove such items (at least this one header file), though there may be others. The usual advice given is to simply move /usr/local aside (eg, to /usr/local-move) then install again. Bryan [...] > > I'm not sure what math.h has to do with perl. It's a GPAC file.
