Compile perl 5.6.1 on hpux 11.0 - make test fails

[Steven Schladale · Accepted solution]

Ray,

What I've found is that the pwent.t and grent.t tests read $max entries from the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. If there are less than $max enties that test fails. To get it to pass count the number of entries in both files:
cat /etc/passwd | wc -l
cat /etc/group | wc -l
Next edit pwent.t and modify $max to equal the number of entries in the passwd file. The $max variable is around line 64.
Do the same with grent.t using the number of lines in the group file.
Good Luck,
Steve
