I need to compile perl from the normal perl 5.004_04 distribution file but I cannot do also the very first part of the installation procedure. When I run "sh configure", after a lot of questions it tells me that "gcc2 doesn't seem to be working". 'cc' is not in the path. I use (as in the perl 'readme.cygwin32' file) gcc2 (copied in a directory in the path) as c compiler. /bin is mounted in /CYGNUS/B19/HI386~1/BIN so it can find sh; when I run gcc2 from the command line it works (I tried to compile the same c program configure does; But when I run sh configure it tells me that "gcc2 doesn't seem to be working". NOTE: just before this error it shows "gcc2: permission denied" I tried to chmod 777 //gcc2 but nothing change. Remember that if I run gcc2 from the command line it works. Seem that the "Permission denied" is on something else than gcc2 but what? Thank you for the help.
