5.8.8 build fails - no Makefile

[use63net]

This is on a PC running Knoppix 3.7.

I ran "Configure" interactively and did not see any error messages.
According to the directions in the "INSTALL" file, the next step is
"make". I'm in the "UU" directory, which has no Makefile. The closest
thing to it is "Makefile.SH" in the "perl-5.8.8" directory, which fails
because it can't find "config.sh", which is in the "UU" directory.

[end of Configure run]

Checking what constant to use for creating joinable pthreads...
You seem to use PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE.

pause() found.

pipe() found.

poll() found.

readlink() found.

What UU directory? I don't think a normal distribution has one,
but if it does, what are you doing there?

The normal sequence is

cd perl-5.8.8
./Configure -des
make
make test
make install
