Hi all, This is in reference to perl bug no 58242 raised by me. After a lot of investigation and guidelines by Merijn, i was able to find that the cause of errors was that the gnu make was not being used. I installed gmake, made link of /usr/local/bin/gmake as /usr/local/bin/make, and found that all the make test errors were gone. Thanks Merijn for you patient cooperation and support. Kawaljeet Kaur
