NeXT 3.0 doesn't have POSIX support. Proceed now with
cd <YOUR_PERL_SOURCE>
make realclean
rm config.sh
cp hints/next_3_2.sh hints/next_3_0.sh
change in the file hints/next_3_0.sh the ccflags line to be
ccflags='-DUSE_NEXT_CTYPE'
and add the lines
dynamic_ext='DB_File Fcntl GDBM_File NDBM_File ODBM_File SDBM_File Socket'
static_ext='none'
to it. Then try
Configure -des
make
make test
***Please*** report, what problems you had then (via e-mail). I do not
have access to a 3.0 systems. Some people have asked the same
question, but I didn't get any response if they succeeded or
not. Kevin, I count on you!
Good luck,
