Please do the following:

  1. Go to the top-level source directory.

  2. Execute the command "make clean".

  3. Execute the command "make", redirecting both the standard output and 
standard error streams to the file "make.log".

  4. Send me the file "make.log".

> I should add that both the perl installation and gcc were installed at
> the time of the OS installation.
