Install and running Sample test

Hello all, I am running Redhat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.18-3) with gcc 2.96 and am
trying to use JPL to integrate some Java and perl code using Java1.4.1_01.

I downloaded and installed the rpm for perl 5.6.1 and downloaded and unpacked
the source code for it with the JPL  module.

from the directory :

/usr/local/perl-5.6.1

I execute the command:

  sh Configure -Dcc=gcc

and answer all the usual questions with the default answers (mostly, I did
say
 yes to building libperl.so).


It completes and seems to build and test OK.

Then I execute the command:

./install-jpl

first setvars will tell me that it can't find the program perl5.006001.

so I create a symbolic link from perl to perl5.006001 and run it again.

while building I get the message:

cc: unrecognized option `-R/usr/local/perl-5.6.1/jpl/lib/i686-linux'

then it installs the Sample program and builds it. When it then goes to
test the sample, I get the message:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x4C715FAB
Function=(null)+0x4C715FAB
Library=/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so


Should this work? anyone else get a simular message or get this example
running under perl 5.6.1?


Thanks

Evan
