It still isn't working very well. I'm now/still getting _this_ error:

$ perl -V
perl: Undefined PLT symbol "__gtdf2" (reloc type = 21, symnum = 217)

Any idea what might be wrong? Do I need a 1.6.1 kernel?

Hmm, sorry, I didn't catch this sooner since I'm traveling (and will be out
of email contact for a few weeks soon.)

gtdf2 is a symbol in the 1.6 and 1.6.1 softfloat libc library.

You could try (carefull) downloading the libc.so file out of the base.tgz 
1.6.1 softfloat build and put it someplace (not /usr/lib/) and then
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include this file.  Then you might have success.

I was able to run perl 5.6.? on my 1.6.1 softfloat system and it did seem to
work, but, it was not heavily tested.

You can get base.tgz from 

ftp://lilith.sixgirls.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.6.1/mac68k-softfloat/binary/sets

or 

ftp://reva.sixgirls.org/pub/NetBSD/m68k/NetBSD-1.6.1-mac-lc040/


or from http://edoneel.chaosnet.org/Downloads.html

please be careful and do not overwrite your copy in /usr/lib....

You also might need libm.so as well.

cheers

bruce
