Hey... I've got perl5 added first in my path, so frame won't start. When I
type maker, I'm told the following:
Literal @sys now requires backslash at /mit/frame/arch/sun4m_54/bin/maker line
56, within string
Execution of /mit/frame/arch/sun4m_54/bin/maker aborted due to compilation
errors.
I looked at the maker scripts, and it seems that nowhere does it require
perl4... maybe you should change the first line of both
/mit/frame/arch/sun4m_54/bin/maker and /mit/frame_v5.1/arch/sun4m_54/bin/maker
from
eval 'exec perl -S $0 "$@"'
to
eval 'exec /usr/athena/bin/perl -S $0 "$@"'
After changing the line in /mit/frame/arch/sun4m_54/bin/maker, everything
seemed to run smoothly until /mit/frame_v5.1/arch/sun4m_54/bin/maker was
called... at which point I got a similar error. I didn't test the change to
/mit/frame/arch/sun4m_54/bin/maker since I don't feel like hacking the first
maker script, but I think that changing that line in both files should make it
work fine.
To test the modifications, be sure to add -f perl5 so it's first in your
path...
Have fun....
