[ic] Help!! Interchange and Perl 5.8.0

[Mark Weaver]

Hi all,

After installing and looking at interchange on our company's development 
server, Mandrake Linux 8.2, we were ready to get it going and roll it 
out on our production server. A RedHat 9.0 system that is hosted for us. 
Problem now seems to be that it can't or won't run, ( install ) on a 
machine running multi-threaded PERL. Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!! If I wasn't crazy 
about RedHat before its even worse now. At least thats how I feel about 
RedHat 9 and PERL 5.8. More problems then you can shake a stick at.

Is there a way around this? Below is the message I get back from the 
config script when I attempt to install Interchange on this RedHat 9.0 
server.

Interchange Version 5.2.0 Configuration

  Copyright 2002-2004 Interchange Development Group
  Copyright 1996-2002 Red Hat, Inc.

  Interchange was originally based on Vend 0.2 and 0.3
  Copyright 1995, 1996 Andrew M. Wilcox <amw at wilcoxsolutions.com>

  Distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Found Perl 5.8.0 as /usr/bin/perl

If you get a CPAN error, rerun the configuration and it should go away.

Interchange will not work with a thread-enabled perl.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `test'.  Stop.

The machine is running RedHat 9.0/PERL 5.8.0 and Apache 2. Anyone have 
any suggestions? I've really got to get this thing going as soon as 
possible.

thanks,
