Yes, all my Linux installs have no problems
 but good old SGI hardware is hard to part with.

Does anyone know how to fix MakeMaker?

Thanks,
Dave

Jokes aside, MakeMaker has a bug that's not been fixed yet (correct, Jason?)
(virtually every perl package uses MakeMaker for installation). Bioperl as the
largest CPAN package has triggered that bug ...

Someone's posted a work-around that involves messing with your kernel ... if
you're confident doing that try search the archive in March or April (or has
anyone the original posting handy?).
