Dear sir/madam,

When I installed Perl5.005_03 in my specify directory,
I first run the command 'sh Configure -Dprefix=/export/home/scfung -des' ,
there is no error return,
therefore, I run make, then got the error

make​: Fatal error​: Command failed for target '../../lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a'
Current working directory /export/home/scfung/perl5.005_03/ext/DynaLoader
make : Fatal error​: Command failed for target 'lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a'

Then, I edit config.sh and change the line
optimize='-O'
to
optimize=' '
then propagate your changes with 'sh Configure -S' and rebuild with make depend; make,
and I got the error as follows,

*** Error code 255

Can anybody tells me how to solve this problem, and I also want to know what is DynaLoader and what is the aim of this?

Thanks

You need not have done that.

rm -rf ../../lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
ar cr ../../lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a DynaLoader.o && : =
../../lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
sh​: ar​: not found

You need the 'ar' program in your PATH (it is used to build object libraries).

You don't say what platform you are trying to build on.
But (for example) on Solaris 'ar' is in /usr/ccs/bin

I found 'ar' in /usr/ccs/bin,
do I need to copy it into export/home/scfung where Perl5.00503 is buildin=
g?

No - just add /usr/ccs/bin to your PATH

/bin/csh :

set path=($path /usr/ccs/bin)

/bin/sh

PATH=$PATH​:/usr/ccs/bin
export PATH
