Hello alpha-managers!
I have trouble installing the packets latex2html and perl5.
I didn't find anything usefull for the later or anything
at all concerning latex2html.
1) Latex2html
-------------
I got the sources for LaTeX2HTML Version 96.1 and installed
everything quite like instructed.
The test-run on the example gives me the following error though:
andreasb_at_oekoalpha /usr/local/lib/latex2html/example> make
latex2html -show_section_numbers -dir report -external_file report -contents node1.html -index node3.html -prefi
x s2 -up_url sec1.html -up_title "Section 1 title" sec2.tex
This is LaTeX2HTML Version 96.1 (Feb 5, 1996) by Nikos Drakos,
Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds.
OPENING /home/porthos6/usrlocal/local/lib/latex2html/example/sec2.tex
Cannot create directory report: File exists
Reusing directory report:
No dbm on this machine at /usr/local/bin/latex2html line 503.
*** Exit 2
Stop.
I traced the script and found out that the error is indeed produced
(or invoked) by perl5 and not the latex2html script itself. So maybe
only my perl5-installation doesn't work properly ... ?
2) perl 5.003
-------------
The above error lead me to perl (maybe it just doesn't find the dbm
libaries ?) and some cgi-scripts won't run anymore since we upgraded
to perl5.
The compile went rather smoothly (i thought), but while running
'sh configure' I got the following:

What is the file extension used for shared libraries? [so]
Checking for optional libraries...
No -lnet.
No -lsocket.
No -linet.
No -lnsl.
No -lnm.
No -lndbm.
No -lgdbm.
Found -ldbm.
No -ldb.

No -lposix.
No -lndir.
No -ldir.
No -lcrypt.

No -lBSD.
Found -lPW.
No -lx.
Some versions of Unix support shared libraries, which make executables smaller
but make load time slightly longer.

ould there be the problem? Or has anybody a 'configure.h' file
ready for a DEC Alpha running DU 3.2 ?
Any help greatly appreciated - I will summerize every response!
