note jfinn 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 <code> root@solaris11:~/.cpan/build/SNMP-5.0401-n2C6m8# make test cp SNMP.pm blib/lib/SNMP.pm AutoSplitting blib/lib/SNMP.pm (blib/lib/auto/SNMP) /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16.2/ExtUtils/xsubpp -noprototypes -typemap /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16.2/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap SNMP.xs > SNMP.xsc && mv SNMP.xsc SNMP.c gcc -c -DNETSNMP_ENABLE_IPV6 -m32 -xO4 -xchip=pentium -xregs=no%frameptr -mt -xc99=all -Dsolaris2=solaris2 -DFALSE_SHARING_ALIGN=64 -I. -I/usr/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -O -DVERSION=\"5.0401\" -DXS_VERSION=\"5.0401\" -KPIC "-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16.2/i86pc-solaris/CORE" SNMP.c gcc: unrecognized option '-KPIC' gcc: language c99=all not recognized gcc: language c99=all not recognized gcc: SNMP.c: linker input file unused because linking not done Running Mkbootstrap for SNMP () chmod 644 SNMP.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/SNMP/SNMP.so LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib" gcc -G -L/usr/lib -L/usr/ccs/lib -L/opt/solarisstudio12.3/prod/lib -L/lib -L/usr/gnu/lib SNMP.o -o blib/arch/auto/SNMP/SNMP.so \ -L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lgen -lelf -lnsl -lsocket -lkstat \ gcc: SNMP.o: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `blib/arch/auto/SNMP/SNMP.so' </code> This is the last module I need compiled...help would be greatly appreciated. 1008135 1008189
