HP Perl conflicts with other perl-installation

[Kalin Evtimov]

We have two perl-installations on a HP/IA64-Machine. The "normal" perl is in /opt/perl... and is used by webmin, and the other perl is in /usr/local/bin/perl and I had to install it in order to compile RRDtools. Now I want to install Webminstats, which requires RRDs-Module. But when I try to install this module from the rrd-source directory using first perl Makefile.PL and then make test (as written in the README), I get this error:

Make: Don't know how to make /opt/perl_64/lib/5.8.3/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi-LP64/CORE/libperl.a. Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

So, I think that both perl-Installations conflict in some way, but I don't know how to solve the problem, in other words how to install the RRDs-Module to the "normal" perl.
Thanks for all ideas!

use the full path, and then it *should* not complain.

# /usr/local/my/path/to/bin/perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make test
# make install

Should work.

I have about 3 to 8 different perl distributions on each system, built with C-ANSI-C or perl and 32 or 64 bit, and I have no such conflicts

Mind you that 32bit `things' (libs and binaries) do NOT mix. So if either of the two perl's is a 64bit perl and you want to build against a 32bit rdd lib, that simply will not work.

Both perl are 64bit. Could it be, that there is no 64bit Versoion of the RRDs-Module, so that it couldn't be created when I first compiled RRDtool?
It should be normally created.

Might be. I have no idea what RDD is. Sorry.
My FAQ tells all about 32/64 bit questions, but I think you already know those answers.

Thank you.
