Error while installing IO::TTY perl module

sajjad_84 — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 06:01:15 GMT

Hello All,

I’ve been trying to install the IO-TTy-1.02 module on my HP-UX system.

The problem is when I run the Makefile.PL, this error is displayed.

ERROR: cannot run the configured compiler 'gcc'
(see conf/compilerok.log). Please fix this by adjusting perls Config.pm, creating a symlink to the right location or maybe by just adding it to your PATH. You could also build perl yourself.

When I run the perl –V:cc command the output it shows is “cc=gcc”.
After running the Makefile.PL this error is displayed in the log compilerok.log
sh: gcc: not found.
But then when I changed the location of CC (using the export command, export CC=/usr/bin/cc).
The log file showed this error
sh: mor: not found.

What OS and architecture are you on?

>CC=/usr/bin/cc

It isn't likely this will compile perl on PA.

>sh: mor: not found.

Have you looked for "mor"? I would expect this only on the terminal when you mistype more but not from perl.

Hello Dennis,

The Architecture is PA-RISC, and OS is HP-UNIX 11.11.

Yes i tried looking for mor, but couldn't find it.

And there is no gcc aswell.

Hi,

You can download gcc from here:

About this GCC, does it depend on the perl version i'm using, or i can use gcc with any version of perl.

Since its a compiler, i suppose it won't affect in anyway with the scripts that are already running?

Hi:

> About this GCC, does it depend on the perl version i'm using, or i can use gcc with any version of perl.

Since your Perl was compiled with 'gcc' you will "need" to use 'gcc' for any module compilation that is required when adding new modules. You were correct in assessing with 'perl -V:cc'.

> Since its a compiler, i suppose it won't affect in anyway with the scripts that are already running?

Correct.

Should the gcc be a problem because when installing other modules, such as net:ssh or net:telnet, i don't receive this error.

So according to you all, I should try re-installing the gcc?

>I should try re-installing the gcc?

I thought you said you didn't have gcc? Or did you just not have it in your PATH?
If the former, you need to install gcc.

Hi (again):

You're making a fallacious assumption, namely that all Perl modules require compilation. That is NOT true. Many modules do not need compilation.

Compilation will be required if the module contains files with files with a suffix of '.xs', '.c', '.h', '.y', '.cc', '.cxx', or '.C'.

Hello,

I've installed gcc, but still I'm getting the same error.
sh :gcc not found

Is gcc in your PATH?
If you are using a real shell, what does "whence gcc" show?

Re: Error while installing IO::TTY perl module

sajjad_84 — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:12:47 GMT

whence gcc gives no output.

So now how to set it in the PATH.

Hi (again):

In all likelihood your 'gcc' has been installed in '/usr/local/bin' which isn't in your PATH. You can remedy this in your '${HOME}/.profile'.

In the '.profile' you should have a line like:

# PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH:/sbin:/root

Add the 'gcc' path there, like:

# PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root

This is shell programming 101. If you don't know how to do this, you should be condemned to type in absolute paths. ;-)

In addition to what JRF said about $PATH, there is a file with all installed software and you might be able to use that file too:
PATH=$PATH:$(< /etc/PATH)

sajjad_84 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:15:29 GMT

lol Dennis, I already consider myself condemned. I've been working TeMIP for so long, that I only checked .temip_config for the path variable and forgot that there ever existed a .profile file.

I'll set the path and let you all know.

*sigh* just when I though every thing was going A-OK. I get this error when I tun the 'make test' command. (see the attachment).

This may indicate mixing 32 vs 64 bit?
Use "file /data/perl_modules/IO-Tty-1.08/blib/arch/auto/IO/Tty/Tty.sl" to check.

>Here is the output

Your original message:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad magic number for shared library:

This is the 32 bit dld.sl.
The output from the shlib, shows it is a 64 bit shlib. And you can't mix and match.

So, what was the part you just built?
You would need to compile it in the other mode.
The URL I provided provides both 32 and 64 bit gcc compilers.
(For Integrity, only one is needed to do both.)
