Make failing on perl module Sybperl

[Mike Proulx]

While installing Sybperl version 2.14 my make is failing.

Here are some specifics:
OS: HP-UX 11.00
Compiler: HP ANSI C compiler
Sybase: Adaptive Server Enterprise/11.9.2.5 Sybase Home: /opt/sybase
Perl Version: v5.6.1
Perl Home: /opt/perl5

I know the make is failing because it can't locate a Sybase Shared library named libblk.sl. The Sybase install only includes a Static library named libblk.a.

The full output of the make command follows:
# make

Stop.

Stop.


Does anyone have suggestions on how to get a successful compile?

Thanks in advance,

According to the Sybperl author, the fix is to download sybperl 2.13 (from
http://www.peppler.org/downloads) which doesn't need libblk.a to build.

Concerning Marke Greene's response.

Thank You, But we are currently running version 2.13. We are experiencing bcp problems with 2.13 and are interested to see if version 2.14 will fix them.
