Seems I have the same problem.
I need to compile perl from the normal perl 5.004_04 distribution file
but I cannot do also the very first part of the installation procedure.
When I run "sh configure", after a lot of questions it tells me that
"gcc2 doesn't seem to be working".
'cc' is not in the path.
I use (as in the perl 'readme.cygwin32' file) gcc2 (copied in a
directory in the path) as c compiler.
/bin is mounted in /CYGNUS/B19/HI386~1/BIN so it can find sh;
when I run gcc2 from the command line it works (I tried to compile the
same c program configure does;
But when I run sh configure it tells me that "gcc2 doesn't seem to be
working".
NOTE: just before this error it shows "gcc2: permission denied"
I tried to chmod 777 /<Path>/gcc2 but nothing change.
Remember that if I run gcc2 from the command line it works.
Seem that the "Permission denied" is on something else than gcc2 but
what?
Thank you for the help.
Bye
