I have written once before about this ("freeWAIS-sf w/Linux"),
and I apologize for the repeat postings.  But I thought it
would be better to offer more specifics, and the original
posting (which I will now cancel) had a vague subject heading.

We are trying to install WAIS-sf 2.0.55, SFgate 2.0.x, and
waisperl 2.0.11.  So far, WAIS-sf compiles and passes its
tests with flying colors.  Perl5.00m is nearly there (still fails
on test 25 in op/stat.t).  But waisperl is being stubborn.
Looking at the traces, it looks as though there is a problem
at the very outset of the install that is tripping things up.
If anyone can cast light on how to get past what is likely
to be our last hurdle, please do get in touch!

Other dynamically loaded modules (POSIX, Fntcl etc) do work with
our Perl5, and test okay.  I have also tried making a static
version of the Wais-ified Perl using "make perl" in the module
sources.  This builds, but fails the tests.

The traces, for "perl Makefile.PL", "make" and "make test",
are as follows:

*** perl Makefile.PL ***

Use of uninitialized value at /usr/local/lib/perl5/Cwd.pm line 144.
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/local/lib/perl5/Cwd.pm line 144.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
'TESTDB' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
