I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this question.

I am attempting to install Perl 5.8.0 on a Solaris 2.7 machine and 'make'
aborts with the following message:

(snip)
rm -f opmini.c
gcc -L/usr/local/lib  -o miniperl \
    miniperlmain.o opmini.o libperl.a -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -lc

Here is 'myconfig' content:

I have seen the discussion of a patch for Basename.pm and my Basename.pm
appears to be patched, at least in a similar way.
I have also seen the testimonials that says 5.8.0 installs OK on Solaris 2.7.
I have been able to install 5.8.0 with the same tar file on Solaris 2.8
without problem.

Can anyone advise me what is wrong with my system or what I'm doing wrong?

Much Thanks.
