Hi all,

Should work ... and doesn't :-/ The ./configure returns the same result as
previously. I am really confused now. The $PERL path is both explicitly
stated : 

bash-2.04$ echo $PERL
/usr/local/bin/perl

and implicit (should be found with this):

bash-2.04$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/WINNT/system32:/WINNT: *etc*

The above would imply to me that my path is correct. Could there be a
problem with my ./configure file? Where else should I be looking?

Again, thanks for the help! 

Alastair.
