So, to confirm this problem, I created this directory:
#####
/home/jkeenan/Downloads/My Subdir
#####
... got the tarball for perl-5.25.4, unpacked it and moved into the unpacked directory, configured perl and called 'make -j${TEST_JOBS} test_prep' as I would normally do with blead. 'make' silently terminated at this point:
#####
Making pod file
Making test script
Updating 'mktables.lst'
#####
When I then called 'make', 'make' terminated with this error output:
#####
./miniperl -Ilib mkppport
running ""/home/jkeenan/Downloads/My Subdir/perl-5.25.4/miniperl"" -I../../lib PPPort_pm.PL
sh: 1: /home/jkeenan/Downloads/My: not found
""/home/jkeenan/Downloads/My Subdir/perl-5.25.4/miniperl"" -I../../lib PPPort_pm.PL failed: 32512
makefile:402: recipe for target 'makeppport' failed
make: *** [makeppport] Error 2
#####
Is that the error output you're getting?
Thank you very much.
