My home directory (/home/dawallis) is on an automounted NFS volume.
Attempting to build perl 5.8.1 there works fine for Solaris, but on AIX
MakeMaker gets incorrect results when attempting to map @INC from relative
path names to absolute paths. First indication of a problem is during 'make'
when building the first extension (B):
readdir(./../../../..): no such file or directory at ../../lib/File/Find.pm
line 579
chdir('') ... deprecated ... at ../../lib/File/Find.pm line 723
readdir(./..): no such ... at ../../lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 165
...
When I put debugging print statements before and after the changes to @INC
in MakeMaker (near 165) I see that it translates ../../lib incorrectly as
/usr/lib instead of /home/dawallis/perl-5.8.1.aix/lib.
Switching to a directory in a local filesystem (/usr) on the same AIX
(oslevel 4.3.2.0) system works, and 'make test' approves of all test
results.
