Re: Redhat 8 or 9 modules ?

[Robert L Cochran <cochranb@speakeasy.net>]

The initial release of Red Hat 8.0 had a problem with glibc that might
be affecting you here. There have been several updated glibc releases
for recent Red Hat distributions including 8 and 9.

I strongly suggest first updating your Red Hat 8 or 9 system with all
the current bug fixes and updates before attempting to compile anything.
I definitely don't try compiling myself unless all the Red Hat bug fixes
are installed on my system. 

Also, if you use CPAN to fetch and compile Perl modules under Red Hat 9,
see Red Hat's Bugzilla bug #87682, and use the suggested workaround
mentioned in that for LANG before you do anything with CPAN. Be very
careful about messing with your LANG/locale settings though. I'd
probably change them back to what they were when I finish downloading
Perl modules off CPAN.
