Subject: perl Makefile.PL fails ...

Hello,
I have downloaded sybperl-2.09 and have some difficulties installing it
on my Sun Ultra1 running Solaris
2.5.1 with recommended patches.
This is the output I receive after running perl Makefile.PL.

Apparently the installation procedure cannot find the mathematical
library, even though it is present on
the system in the usual place.
I ran truss on the command and this yields the following: At the start
of the procedure, libm is found:

execve("/usr/local/bin/perl", 0xEFFFF980, 0xEFFFF98C)  argc = 2
open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY)                     = 3
mmap(0x00000000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3,
0) = 0x6F
FC0000
open("/usr/lib/libm.so.1", O_RDONLY)            = 4
fstat(4, 0xEFFFF634)                            = 0

Further down the output, I find:

stat("/usr/sybase/lib/libm.so", 0x000B1138)     Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/usr/sybase/lib/libm_s.a", 0x000B1138)    Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/usr/sybase/lib/libm.a", 0x000B1138)      Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/usr/sybase/lib/m.a", 0x000B1138)         Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/usr/sybase/lib/Slibm.a", 0x000B1138)     Err#2 ENOENT
   ....

open("/usr/openwin/lib", O_RDONLY|O_NDELAY)     = 3
stat("/usr/openwin/lib/libm.so", 0x000B1138)    Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/usr/openwin/lib/libm_s.a", 0x000B1138)   Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/usr/openwin/lib/libm.a", 0x000B1138)     Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/usr/openwin/lib/m.a", 0x000B1138)        Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/usr/openwin/lib/Slibm.a", 0x000B1138)    Err#2 ENOENT
stat("CTlib_BS", 0x000B1138)                    Err#2 ENOENT

This would seem to indicate that the procedure is trying to find libm,
but stops looking after having
searched /usr/sybase/lib and /usr/openwin/lib.

Needless to say, I am puzlled by this...

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Eric
