Hi guys,

I am wondering if anyone out there can help me. 
I am trying to build the 64 bit version of perl 5.8.0 under solaris 2.8 and
the following compile errors pop up on perlio.c:

/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -DPERL_CORE -c -I/usr/local/include
-I/opt/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -xarch=v9 -O
perlio.c
"perlio.c", line 2761: undefined struct/union member: _ptr
"perlio.c", line 2769: improper member use: _ptr
"perlio.c", line 2866: undefined struct/union member: _base
"perlio.c", line 2873: undefined struct/union member: _cnt
"perlio.c", line 2873: undefined struct/union member: _ptr
"perlio.c", line 2873: undefined struct/union member: _base
"perlio.c", line 2882: undefined struct/union member: _ptr
"perlio.c", line 2889: undefined struct/union member: _cnt
"perlio.c", line 2898: undefined struct/union member: _ptr
"perlio.c", line 2898: warning: improper pointer/integer combination: op "="
"perlio.c", line 2918: undefined struct/union member: _cnt
cc: acomp failed for perlio.c

It works fine when building for 32 bits. The difference in this case being
there is no "-xarch=v9" flag provided to the cc command.

Any suggestions.

Thanks.
Phil
