This looks very much like a problem with perl on your machine.
Quite possibly. Any detailed suggestions? I'm just not quite sure, what exactly is wrong and how I could fix it. (e.g. by somehow telling MonetDB to look for Perl related things there rather than there etc.)
I'm not familiar with Debian and Perl, but I think something is just looking at a wrong architecture or in another place than it reports.
The output is this: /amd64/usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
Looks normal to me.
Apart from this issue, it appears strange to me that autoconf/automake are being used.
Well, strictly speaking the error is caused by this line in the (generated) Makefile: cd . && /bin/sh /local/var/tmp/MonetDB-1180453562/MonetDB4-XQuery/pathfinder/conf/missing --run autoconf
It shouldn't do this, IMO. Running autoconf should only be done if configure has to be regenerated, which it does not have to.
But this script (.../conf/missing --run autoconf) behaves exactly like autoconf. The error message is the same, independent of whether I run the Makefile or type autconf by hand.
What filesystem are you running stuff on? Do you build in your sources? Is your clock set correctly? Do you use NFS by chance?
