Removing the check from the Makefile it continues but then later fails with something missing... OK, let's install Perl 5.8 then. But that fails as well, halfway doing "make install". Now /usr/local/bin/perl is no longer functioning!!! Aaaaargggh! (sorry, this is very frustrating) Fortunately reinstalling Perl 5.6.1 worked. Phew. Please fix this asap. Both perl and spamassassin are needed! -- Place mark here ->[ ]<- if you want a dirty monitor. /// Bram Moolenaar -- Bram@Moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// Sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ Project leader for A-A-P -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ Buy LOTR 3 and help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF.nl/lotr.html ///
