Build of Perl 5.8.8 is failing

[shinca]

Hello,
I'm new to compiling Perl and would like your assistance.

I am trying to install Perl 5.8.8 on my Linux 2.0.34C52_SK.

[admin perl-5.8.8]$ pwd
/home/sites/home/users/admin/perl-5.8.8/make

I am getting the following error message after typing 'make' (config'd
to install in /usr/local/

Any assistance with further troubleshooting this issue would be much
appreciated.

I reviewed the INSTALL doc and it suggested to disable the Optimization
parameter in the config process. I also had to SU to complete the make
install command. I've gotten the Perl ported over to my environment
for the moment. We'll see how it works.
