Hi all,

I upgraded a 2.1.5 system to 2.1.7 this morning (relatively painless I
might add!) and I've been trying to install Perl5.003 ever since.  I've
tried compiling the src by hand and even the Ports Collection but I keep
getting the same error when I run make:

speedbump# make
`sh  cflags libperl.a miniperlmain.o`  miniperlmain.c
          CCCMD =  cc -c -I/usr/local/include -O   
In file included from perl.h:611,
                 from miniperlmain.c:10:
sv.h:250: parse error before `DIR'
sv.h:250: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
sv.h:264: parse error before `}'
*** Error code 1

Stop.


I'm by no means a C guru but sv.h looks fine.

I'd appreciate any help/advice you guys can give me.  Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
