Re: Compiling GD on Solaris 11

[Anonymous Monk]

You're switching compilers and you didn't make realclean? Not likely to work

also perlgcc doesn't appear to have been updated in a decade -- I hear installing a new perl using gcc ( say in /usr/local/opt or some such) is easier to work with

Thanks for the "make realclean" tip, I was just removing the directory and re-downloading it between each attempt to compile. So I downloaded and compiled the latest version of perl and I was able to get GD compiled. Now I'm having a very similar error trying to compile SNMP

This is the last module I need compiled...help would be greatly appreciated.
