From kevin.dukes@eds.com

I'm getting the following error message when trying to compile perl. I've
attempted to point the file to /usr/local/bin/gcc, which is the compiler I'm
using, but was unsuccessful there as well. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

***************************************************************
Use which C compiler? [cc]

Checking for GNU cc in disguise and/or its version number...
/usr/ucb/cc​: language optional software package not installed

*** WHOA THERE!!! ***
  Your C compiler "cc" doesn't seem to be working!
  You'd better start hunting for one and let me know about it.

Kevin-

Looks like your are working on Solaris. /usr/ucb/cc will not
work on Solaris -- the usual choices are to purchase the
Sun compiler or install and use gcc.

Gcc works well and the price is right. I suggest you
run Configure like this, ensuring that /usr/local/bin/gcc
is in your shell path.

  sh Configure -Dcc=gcc

If your gcc install is broken then you should check out sunfreeware.com and get
a new precompiled working copy. or you can build gcc yourself. It builds
easily,
if slowly.

The INSTALL file that comes with Perl covers many other pitfalls.
