Perl Net::SFTP Math::Pari et al

Dave Crouse — Fri, 11 Nov 2005 14:51:07 GMT

So a customer wants us to change from the easy one-line ssh command we use to drop off their file to some SFTP kluge lookin' thing.
I have been quite succesfull using Net::FTP in perl in the past and hope to be again with Net::SFTP. However, I can't get the silly Modules to compile. This seems to be a problem for lots of folks. I think the issue is with the cc flags in the Config.pm file. I have tried both cc and gcc with various changes in the flags from various contributors to no avail. Is there a precompiled Module library for perl out there on the 'net somewhere where I can get the modules? Or, does someone know the magic behind the ccflags to get these to compile? Has anyone gotten one of these (Math::Pari, Crypt::DES::EDE3, Crypt::DH, Crypt::IDEA, Crypt::DSA, Crypt::RSA, Digest::SHA1, Convert::PEM, Math::Random) to compile? How'd ya do it?

Oh, some basics would be nice...

You "perl" is probably built with HP C-ANSI-C, and you don't have it:

All these errors are from options passed to the C compiler that are not recognized by either the bundled (braindead) HP C compiler or GNU gcc.

Two options:

1. Buy HP C-ANSI-C and install that. Thing would suddenly work
2. Replace your perl with a version that was build with GNU gcc, and install the compiler it was built with. You will then see that other options are passed.

Recent versions fro perl and gcc that meet option 2 can be found on my site.
