Perl Install - make test failed op/filetest

[lhradowy]

Solaris 5.10 installing perl 5.8.9 in /usr/local/bin

Everything runs great until make test, if fails with only one issue:
Failed 1 test out of 1108, 99.91% okay.
op/filetest.t
make[2]: *** [_test_tty] Error 1

Can I simply ignore this and continue with make install?

could be a permissions/quota issue, are you sure you want to install perl into your home directory?

This is not where I am installing it. Went thru the interactive install and choose the defaults of /usr/local/bin for the installation. This is only where the software is.
I spent hours on google, CPAN but could not find any thing related to my error, hence the forums as my next course of action.

there's no rpm or apt commands to install perl on Solaris?

It would be pkgadd by solaris, and the software from Solaris freeware, but this version of Perl "from Freeware" 5.8.8 is already installed in /usr/local/perl5.8.8 from a vendor on our server and this is locked down as to we can not install any perl modules, if we do it will null and void our contract.
Hence a separate install of perl for our own use and freedom.

I am wondering if it has anything to do with that we have solaris zones...

This is beginning to look like that.

I'd start a new thread in the Solaris forum, with a synopsis, and link back to this thread ...
