I'm sorry, but this isn't enough information. The key line in this excerpt is "> make: *** No rule to make target `script/parl', needed by `blib/script/parl'. Stop." The question is, why can't "parl" be generated? I assume you downloaded PAR-0.941.tar.gz from CPAN. What OS is this? What kind of perl is this? dynperl or static perl?, version?, source of the perl? Does the system have a C compiler? Try adding the line 'print can_cc()."\n"; exit;' to the Makefile.PL and see if that prints out /usr/bin/gcc or similar. There is some issue with static perls, IIRC. Might be an error in the Makefile in the myldr/ subdirectory. Sorry, but this is currently the only pointers I can provide. Steffen
