I don't really understand why changing your shell would help you to compile a C module, but what do I know? :-) >Anyway, when testing perl all tests passed - only the above >mentioned op/dbm.t failed :-( If you run the test by hand, you'll see that the points where it fails is where is checks for the existance of .dir and .pag files; the dbm routines used in the *BSD systems create only one file ending .db. You can safely ignore those test fail messages. --Ken
