Not really Bill, no one is charging you for telling you to do it yourself. No one is taking $250.00 for assistance - only to tell you what you already know. Here is my advice - figure it out. This could be a pain in the a** problem, and I suspect it's actually simple. Look at the SPEC, go look at RPM.org, or someplace that teaches you how to read SPEC files. Then, read the perl build instructions. Find the place in the SPEC where it builds perl, and based on the perl build settings, fix it. It can't be that difficult. Another approach is to go back to whatever you had before you upgraded to RedHat 8. There is remarkably little detail that I have seen in your messages, and a lot of pissed of demands and then telling us that because we aren't figuring this out, we are like M$. Furthermore - you may be missing development libraries, have you checked your installed RPMS for all the necessary development libraries? Who knows, the perl source RPM may build all perl + all supported perl modules. That is a lot of stuff, it requires basically having all the development RPMS for everything that have perl support. RedHat handles the chicken-vs-egg when they build the RPMS, so that we all have an easy time of using this.... you are in that situation though if you rebuild huge packages like perl. Can you obtain the source for the sybperl? Do you have that library? Is the stuff your installing open-sourced? Do they have a version compatible with RedHat 8? Re-read your original post,and your follow up post, then imagine that someone else wrote it and try to figure out what they need. You need to post a little more info, and probably use a lot more elbow grease before getting bent out of shape. js -- VB programmers ask why no one takes them seriously, it's somewhat akin to a McDonalds manager asking employees why they don't take their 'career' seriously.
