We have problem while installing perl5.
After running sh Configure command, when we run make command following
error is generated.

Please let us know what is this "DATAMODEL_NATIVE" and where to make

Thanking you,

Sadly, you did not follow the instructions for Reporting Problems in the
INSTALL file so I'll have to guess a bit. I see you are using a version
of gcc2.7.2.1 built for Solaris 2.5. I'll guess you have updated the
operating system but neglected to update your gcc installation to match.
The result is the gcc header files are now out of date and don't work.
You need to update your gcc installation.

Hope this helps,

If this isn't in the INSTALL file by now it should be ;-)

This is a symptom of using an old gcc configured for Solaris2.5
on a more recent version of solaris (e.g. 2.6 or 2.7).
Old gcc made (editied) copies of /usr/include which don't
match the system includes on new solaris.

Either build on a 2.5 machine, or install a new gcc.
