Trying to build Perl 5.8.0-RC1 on OpenVMS VAX V7.2 with Compaq C V6.4 hangs while compiling MD5.C. I did a CLEAN, then reconfigured to remove that component. I got as far as Digest/Byte and received: Making Digest/Byte (dynamic) Can't open perl script "makefile.pl": no such file or directory %SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file %MMS-F-NOACCESS, Unable to access file "DESCRIP.MMS". -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file %MMS-F-ABORT, For target DYNEXT, CLI returned abort status: %X10EE80E4. -- Brian Tillman Internet: tillman_brian at si.com Smiths Aerospace tillman at swdev.si.com 3290 Patterson Ave. SE, MS 1B3 Addresses modified to prevent Grand Rapids, MI 49512-1991 SPAM.
