I have installed your new set of RedHat7.1 RPMs, and tried to build Perl natively. But it fails with the following message: `sh cflags libperl.a toke.o` toke.c CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -O2 Cannot allocate 2676168 bytes after allocating 3899765696 bytes make: *** [toke.o] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.43439 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.43439 (%build) I have build perl natively with your pervious set of RedHat7.1 RPMs, without any problems. /Carsten "H .
