Hi, Can you help me?

I have trying to compile perl for days now. Configure and make depend
work great, but the actual make bombs in the same spot each time. (I am
not a big C peron). I am running slackware linux 3.0 (ELF) with kernel
1.2.13 (ELF) and gcc 2.7.0. I am trying to build Perl5.001n or 5.001m
(neither work).

Any help would be great.

output of "make" and the bombout.

Now you must run a make.
bash# make
