the=20 recommended value for $d_void_sig on this machine was=20 "undef"!

keep the recommended value? = [y]

----------------------------------------------------------------= ---------------------------------------------------------

And=20 again, I went with the default (I only mention this one cause of the = WHOA before=20 hand).

When=20 the configure script neared the end, it said:

----------------------------------------------------------------= ----------------------

Doing=20 variable substitutions on .SH files...

: No such file or directory

----------------------------------------------------------------= ----------------------

And=20 then stopped. (anybody know why?) So, gathering that it was = going to=20 run the *.SH scripts,

I=20 typed "sh <file>.SH" for each file, the files being:=20 Makefile.SH, Policy_sh.SH, cflags.SH, config_h.SH,

makeaperl.SH, makedepend.SH, makedir.SH, perl_exp.SH, and=20 writemain.SH. I then did the same in the x2p subdirectory, which = had=20 Makefile.SH and cflags.SH.

Then I=20 ran make depend, which printed some warnings, but seemed to run=20 fine.

I then=20 ran make, which ran for a while, and terminated with the=20 following:

----------------------------------------------------------------= -------------------------------------------------------------------------= -----------

--------------------------------------------------------------------= -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------

So I=20 copied the libperlexp.a which was in the perl src directory, into=20 /cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygnin32/lib/,

and it=20 got through this part. I then ran "make test", which = completed,=20 saying it had succeeded on about 79.76% of the

tests=20 (somewhere near there).

(Now I=20 get to the real problem :) Most of the previous was background in = case=20 it's relevant)

Now,=20 when I run "/usr/local/src/perl5.005_02/perl installperl" as = it says=20 to in the readme for

cygwin, it says "/usr/local/bin is not writable by=20 you"

I've=20 tried deleting the directory (in which case it creates it and then says = it's not=20 writable) and I tried

"chmod 777 /usr/local/bin" which doesn't seem to do = anything=20 (/usr/local/bin is 755 now, owned by administrator

and my=20 account has administrator priveleges).

Anybody know what I'm missing? This feels so close! = I have=20 the output from make if that would be helpfull. Or=20 perhaps

if=20 someone has a config.h that they used to build it I could try using = that? =20 Any suggestions?

Thanks=20 a bunch in advance!
