You were heard the first time.

No reply means that

No.

All you need is Perl (famous Beatles song).

I think this is beause, the correct Perl headers have not been included 
because of either a programming error, or Make and friends have picked 
up the wrong headers.

The Perl code has been stable for a while and known to compile and run 
on a number of platforms, so programming errors seem less likely.

How many Perls are there on your system ? If more than one, finding the 
wrong Perl headers seems more likely.

Please would you either post the list or me personally

which perl

and if there is only one Perl

perl -V

Does /usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE contain (below it somewhere) perl.h, 
EXTERN.h ?

I have noX access to Debian.

Is there any chance of a temporary shell (via ssh) on the problem host 
to try and work out what's wrong ?

I expect the contrib/mini_epn would also fail to compile. Is that the 
case ?

Yours sincerely.
