make: *** [compile_test_2_t_a7b1.o] Error 1

A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your 
Inline
C code. The command that failed was:
   make

The build directory was:
/root/peter/inline_fails_to_compile/_Inline/build/compile_test_2_t_a7b1

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the output 
files.

  at compile_test_2.t line 11
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at compile_test_2.t line 28.
Sun-A3 root 263/2 (~/peter/inline_fails_to_compile)#

the location of EventAPI.h is:

Sun-A3 root 264/0 (~/peter/inline_fails_to_compile)# find 
/opt/perl5.12.2.debug/ -name EventAPI.h -print
/opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/site_perl/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/Event/EventAPI.h

yep!, setting the cpath variable

Sun-A3 root 261/0 (~/peter/inline_fails_to_compile)# setenv CPATH 
/opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/site_perl/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/Event; 
/opt/perl5.12.2.debug/bin/perl -c compile_test_1.t
compile_test_1.t syntax OK

acts as a workaround -- though on my tcsh it took me a little while..;-)

thanx!, peter
