Hi All, I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, so please copy me in any replies... I'm trying (and succeeding!) to build a binary distribution for the Gimp (1.1.14) on AIX 4.3.2. Everything appears to work, except for the perl plugins, which generate a core. "make test" in .../gimp-1.1.14/plug-ins/perl produces: # make test make[1]: Entering directory `/internet/port/gimp-1.1.14/plug-ins/perl/Gimp' make[1]: Leaving directory `/internet/port/gimp-1.1.14/plug-ins/perl/Gimp' make[1]: Entering directory `/internet/port/gimp-1.1.14/plug-ins/perl/Net' make[1]: Leaving directory `/internet/port/gimp-1.1.14/plug-ins/perl/Net' make[1]: Entering directory `/internet/port/gimp-1.1.14/plug-ins/perl/UI' make[1]: Leaving directory `/internet/port/gimp-1.1.14/plug-ins/perl/UI' PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5. 00503/aix -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $ver bose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t t/load..............dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) test program seems to have generated a core t/loadlib...........dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) test program seems to have generated a core t/run...............dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) test program seems to have generated a core DIED.
