But I can give more details: In the directory sec_rpc-1.54/NFS/perl/ of the package sec_rpc-1.54.tar.gz, there is a file Makefile.PL. 'make' processes this directory by generating a Makefile with 'perl Makefile.PL', followed by a 'make all'. The generation of the Makefile by perl doesn't work, neither with perl from 4-Stable base system, nor with the newer perl version from the ports. The file Makefile.PL contains: use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; # See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence # the contents of the Makefile that is written. WriteMakefile( 'NAME' => 'SNFS', 'VERSION_FROM' => 'SNFS.pm', # finds $VERSION 'PREREQ_PM' => {}, # e.g., Module::Name => 1.1 ($] >= 5.005 ? ## Add these new keywords supported since 5.005 (ABSTRACT_FROM => 'SNFS.pm', # retrieve abstract from module AUTHOR => 'Fredrik Roubert ') : ()), ); This file talks about "lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm", but on my system, MakeMaker.pm resides in /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm. Where will perl search, to find MakeMaker.pm? As soon as the make process does 'make all', it cannot find the Makefile and it stops with an error. I myself don't know anything about perl, so I'm totally at a loss here. Any suggestions? BTW: seeing the 5.005 here in this file, I believe it may work with perl from 4-Stable base system (version 5.005_03), though again, I know nothing about perl.... Thanks, Rob.
