Your problem: You have a BerkeleyDB (libdb) port that expects libpthread, or in other words is built threads-enabled and you have a perl that is not

Your problem is not: that you need a threaded perl

Your solution:
a: Build perl yourseld, and include -lpthread in the list of required libs, even if perl itself does not need it. Modules like this and DBD::Oracle do.
b: Build BerkeleyDB (libdb) again with threads disabled
c: (or maybe a-bis) Fetch yourself a prebuilt perl binary that has libpthread in it
d: IF this works, you're done fast: remove 'PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1' from the Makefile. This very much depends on you perl and the shared libraries were built.

The fact that your perl was not built with libpthread indicates to me that it is a rather old version, since both my perls (see below) and the perl binaries that come from HP's porting center (at least all their recent builds: read that past two years) include this library

Next time, please tell us what your perl version is (perl -v), where you got it, and what the version of the problem stuff is (libdb and DB_File). From your log, I presume

DB_File-1.811
perl5.8.5

My builds include DB_File

Installed perl 5.8.7 from http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/downloads.html

Now I get:

# ./perl -v
sh: ./perl: Execute permission denied.
# pwd
/opt/perl64/bin
# ll perl

Just to be sure. Your machine *is* 64bit capable??

Of course you are right. I thought so, but not 64-bit.

Try with 32-bit later.

32-bit worked.

You close the thread with a bunny, saying that my answer was right, and that it now works, but still you give the answer only 1 point.

Isn't that a bit of an insult? Do you know how much time I put in that website?
It solves your problem, but still ...

I'm stunned

1. I thought I gave it 5 points
2. I am a beginner at this started the other day.
