Hi! I have been trying to install Perl5.6.0 on QNX 4.25. I downlaoded
the tar.gz version. The tar file is giving me the archive. Now when I
try to compile the code using the Configure utility, its giving a lot of
errors. I am assuming that it is because of us running a watcom c
compiler and the default c compiler for perl is GNU, and the libraries
are getting mixed up. If any of you have any idea about this problem
please help me out.

Thanks

Well, In the past, I have been successfull in compiling Perl 5.004 and
5.005.something, I don’t remember the exact version numbers but the thing
was rather painless. I was using watcom C 10.6 I guess (under QNX 4.24 and
4.25). The main problem is that you’ll get A LOT of errors if you don’t
have the TCP/IP Toolkit installed on your system. It is also a bit easier
to have TCP/IP runtime configured and running on your developpement system
because all the test procedures will fail if you don’t have them.

My guess it that TCP/IP might be your problem.
