    Greetings list.

    All of a sudden, I am experiencing wierd functionality with my
    5.2.1-Release installation. My perl compiles don't succeed, due to the
    following error. nsl is on Solaris, and I have never had an issue prior
    to a few days ago. I was planning to reinstall, after backing up my
    data, and I just decided to try this list, in case others have had
    similar problems.

    Error:

    > sudo make install

    Some users have reported that Configure halts when testing for
    the O_NONBLOCK symbol with a syntax error. This is apparently a
    sh error. Rerunning Configure with ksh apparently fixes the
    problem. Try
            ksh Configure [your options]

    I've tried to compile and run the following simple program:

    #include <stdio.h>
    int main() { printf("Ok\n"); exit(0); }

    I used the command:

            cc -o try -O -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro
    -DAPPLLIB_EXP="/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/BSDPAN" -fno-strict-aliasing
    -I/usr/local/include -Wl,-E -L/usr/local/lib try.c -lnsl -lgdbm -ldl -lm
    -lc -lcrypt -lutil
            ./try

    and I got the following output:

    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl
    I can't compile the test program.
    You have a BIG problem. Shall I abort Configure [y]
    Ok. Stopping Configure.
    ===> Script "Configure" failed unexpectedly.
    Please report the problem to tobez@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach
    the
    "/usr/ports/lang/perl5/work/perl-5.6.1/config.log" including the output
    of
    the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to
    provide
    an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
    /var/db/pkg`).
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.

    I have also noticed that my installs of mplayer, current and pre5 all
    crash when I try do anything on the X desktop with opening/refreshing a
    minimized windows. It says something about bad CPU/RAM/FPU usage. I
    know this is not an mplayer forum, however, I have noticed that crash at
    the same time that I noticed that I was unable to compile perl, due to
    the lack of -lnsl not being found. I know that nsl is for Solaris,
    however my problem is that I don't have significant enough knowledge
    yet, to begin playing around with such "search" settings, so I know that
    I have not changed the option, which is the most obvious solution.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
