perl DBI problem

Hi,

I am trying to install DBI on our server, I have successfully download and install perl from merjins website (perl-5.8.6-gcc-3.4.3-11.11-elf64.tbz) and DBI-1.48 (CPAN).

I am following these steps.

1. #perl Makefile.PL (successull)
2. #make (error - see below)
3. #make test
4. #make install

I received the following error. I've check other threads regarding this error and from there it says compiler problem. We have aCC installed in HPUX 11.11 64 bit.

cscpcc@edw-dev [/home/cscpcc/perl/DBI-1.48]
#make

Stop.

Any would would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

I wonder about the dependency on the C/ANSI C compiler ? Might you try this link:

If you got my build, then why build DBI???

My build already includes the most recent DBI!

# perl -MV=DBI

Furthermore, *IF* you are using *my* build, you have a $PATH problem, because your phase 1 (perl Makefile.PL) shows that the perl you use wants to use the HP C-ANSI-C compiler, and all my builds are created with GNU gcc.

# which perl

should be /opt/perl/bin/perl or /opt/perl64/bin/perl

DBI is an XS module, which means you will ness an ANSI C compiler to build it. In almost all cases it is preferable to use the same compiler as the one perl was build with. In my case that is- as said - GNU gcc, which you can also fetch from my site.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn [ Mer i j n, not Mer j i n ]

Hi Merijin,

Thanks, It is a PATH problem.
