Perl 5.8.7 Install Error

MikeL_4 — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 19:26:19 GMT

I'm installing perl 5.8.7 and when I get to the "make test" procedure I receive error:

t/op/filetest.............................Can't locate Config_heavy.pl in @INC (
@INC contains: ../lib) at ../lib/Config.pm line 66.
# Looks like you planned 10 tests but ran 5.
FAILED at test 6

and then several "join" error messages:

ext/threads/shared/t/0nothread............ok
ext/threads/shared/t/av_refs..............Can't call method "join" on an undefin
ed value at ../ext/threads/shared/t/av_refs.t line 50.
FAILED at test 4
ext/threads/shared/t/av_simple............Can't call method "join" on an undefin
ed value at ../ext/threads/shared/t/av_simple.t line 47.
FAILED at test 10
ext/threads/shared/t/cond.................Can't call method "join" on an undefin

ext/threads/shared/t/hv_refs..............Can't call method "join" on an undefin
ed value at ../ext/threads/shared/t/hv_refs.t line 45.

any idea where I might of gone wrong ???

You might find the depot version of perl is easier to install than complining it yourself.

You'll be transferred to the new site, which I've yet to memorize.

Hi,

Sometimes when compiling perl source or perl related products, the files( .pm, .pl ) should be installed first for some of the tests executed by "make test". OR these modules path should be in @INC.

What's the OS and architecture?

Why do you need a threaded perl?
Do you *need* a threaded perl?

DBD-Oreacle does NOT need a threaded perl!

raj is not correct. Certainly for 5.8.7 all tests should pass

We don't want to use the depot install as this installs in /usr/local/bin and we need to run multiple versions of perl..

I did resolve the thread errors and reran the make test and now only come up with one error:

/op/filetest.............................Can't locate Config_heavy.pl in @INC (
@INC contains: ../lib) at ../lib/Config.pm line 66.
# Looks like you planned 10 tests but ran 5.
FAILED at test 6

The Config_heavy.pl is in ./perl-5.8.7/lib and I must be doing something wrong not to include thet path in the @INC...

Any ideas??

I resolved issue and was able to compile perl 5.8.7

Issued: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=..../perl-5.8.7/lib before running the Configure.sh make make test make install...

Thanks

FWIW *my* depots install in /opt/perl and /opt/perl64
But they are all unthreaded builds including defined-or and a lot of up-to-date modules
