During make, I get the following error:

Can't find ../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap in /afs/uncc.edu/coe/unix/opt/gnu/perl58/src/perl-5.8.0/ext/DynaLoader
gmake[1]: *** [DynaLoader.o] Error 29
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/afs/uncc.edu/coe/unix/opt/gnu/perl58/src/perl-5.8.0/ext/DynaLoader'
gmake: *** [lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a] Error 2

Which I think is strange, given that I can find it:

Here is the error I get when trying to build perl 5.8.0 on Solaris 9:

perl 5.6.1 came packaged with Solaris 9, and lives in /usr/bin. If I remove
perl 5.6.1 from the path, I then get the following error:

This appears to be quite similar to ticket 21488.

Here is the error I get when trying to build perl 5.8.0 on Solaris 9:
    Making DynaLoader $static$

gmake[1]: Entering directory
`/afs/uncc.edu/coe/unix/opt/gnu/perl58/src/perl-5.8.0/ext/DynaLoader'

DynaLoader_pm.PL DynaLoader.pm
Perl lib version (v5.8.0) doesn't match executable version (v5.6.1) at
../../lib/Config.pm line 21.

Ultimately, the problem is that the build process changes directories
to ext/DynaLoader, but can't find ../../miniperl.

I can't reproduce this problem, but I don't have /afs. I strongly
suspect some afs-related issue, but I can't say exactly what that
might be since I only have the vaguest awareness of afs. If it is
possible to build outside of afs, I'd try that.

One other thing: I note that you are using GNU make. That's not
actually necessary -- the make supplied by Sun in /usr/ccs/bin/ works
just fine. Here's what README.solaris advised about GNU make:
If you wish to use GNU make, be sure that the set-group-id bit is
not set. If it is, then arrange your PATH so that
/usr/ccs/bin/make is before GNU make or else have the system
administrator disable the set-group-id bit on GNU make.
I don't know what the actual problem is, nor whether it's relevant on
afs, but what happens if you try it with Solaris make?

From @doy

Unless we get more feedback on building outside of AFS, or using Solaris
make, or trying a newer version of perl, I think this ticket can be closed.

Absent further feedback from the original poster (who has undoubtedly
moved on and found another way to work around this issue rather than
waiting for us for 8 years!) there's nothing further we can do here.
I'm closing this ticket. If the problem re-appears, a new ticket can be
opened.
