Let me throw in a shred of fact among all the hand waving and hyperbole: I just did a "install Bundle::CPAN" on a freshly upgraded FC4 system, along with all the related module updates this drags behind it. I also installed a bunch of other modules (that I don't really need) from CPAN, just for the heck of it. What can I say, it didn't even blink. Especially the gcc compilations went through without a single complaint. So, maybe rather than generalising FC4 compilation is broken from a few modules that fail compilation, it might be more worthwhile giving those modules good looking into. Cheers Steffen.
