   Not the case here.

   Think this or something similar must be the answer ...   
      
   By default, there is no LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable defined, so, as a first   
   attempt, I edited /etc/profile to add the various lib* sub-directories   
   of the various optional add-ons to a LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, but,   
   after a reboot, running any of the normal shell commands resulted in   
   segmentation faults, but when I entered into the shell ...   
   	unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH   
   ... everything worked again.

   Yes, it's a pain.  I need a working make program to use CPAN in Perl,   
   but cannot make any easy progress, but thanks for your and Richard's   
   help and suggestions.
