While compiling on Sun Solaris I have had to go into the Makefile for all of the sub folders and chage them to have the gcc compiler and the gcc compiler options. When I run the gmake it looks like they all the modules compile. When I run the gmak install the Makefiles are overwritten and my changes are lost, sot the install fails. Couls someone please tell me how to run the install with the Makefiles that compile successfully without overwriting them. It looks like make install is running the Makefile.PL again. Is there a way to stop the install from recreating or running the Makefile.PL. Thank you, Diane
