friedo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings,

I'm having some trouble getting PAR::Packer built on my Fedora Core 9 box. Here's the output from make:

gcc -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING -fno-strict-aliasing -pi +pe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I +/usr/include/gdbm -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CO +RE main.c In file included from main.c:5: perlxsi.c: In function ‘xs_init’: perlxsi.c:30: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘Perl_newXS’ from incompa +tible pointer type In file included from main.c:58: internals.c: In function ‘par_xs_init’: internals.c:123: error: too many arguments to function ‘xs_init’ make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/.cpan/build/PAR-Packer-0.980-j8sYsf/ +myldr' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 SMUELLER/PAR-Packer-0.980.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK

I've got the latest perl-devel RPM installed, so all my headers and stuff should be up-to-date. Unfortunately, this problem has run up directly against my C compiler n00biness, so I don't know where to begin.

Thanks in advance for any help.
