Hi,
I'm not sure whether this message is more appropriate to
comp.os.linux.misc or comp.lang.perl.misc, but here goes -
I've just installed perl5.001m pre-compiled for linux-ELF from the
sunsite.unc.edu archive ( the November 95 version). My system is based on
Slackware 2.3 but with ELF upgrades on all the relevant libraries.
I am unable to start Perl 5 : it simply says
perl: can't resolve symbol '_h_errno'
Segmentation fault
and dies.
I got the pre-compiled binary because I had previouly had no luck in
compiling from source - I didn't understand all the questions the
configure script was asking me (it assumed one knows perl well, but I
wanted to install it to learn!)
Any advice very gratefully received
Steve
