that's not good.

what's the output of "perl -V" on the system? do you have a
threaded/non-threaded perl?

what happens with "make test?" (it shouldn't need "build/podindex" for
that to run)

you running with a specific (non-english) locale or anything like that?

anyone else running Suse 8.2 who's had problems or got things to work
fine?

-pthread shouldn't be the problem. that's just a (harmless)
ExtUtils::MakeMaker warning. -pthread is in glib/gtk+'s LIBS and we pass
through to MakeMaker since we're compiling and linking against them.
