Perhaps this should be a bug against one of the perl packages? as for libft-perl, it uses something from perl called "xsubpp" to generate a .c file from a .xs file. It seems that it works fine on my potato system (with perl 5.005), but it won't compile on a system with perl 5.6 (both i386 and powerpc). It complains about an undeclared variable (of a name which isn't in the .xs file, so i'm guessing it's autogenerated). i still don't fully understand the problem, but the short story is that it doesn't seem to compile with perl-5.6. I'm still looking into the cause, but i believe it's happening for all architectures. -Pete Lypkie pete@linux-geek.net plypkie@debian.org
