Perl DBI module install fails HP-UX 11.11

[Rick Grubin]

Can't get Perl DBI module to build/install properly (can't use gcc):

root@ejl144[255] make
/usr/bin/perl -I/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi -I/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1 -MExtUtils::Command -e mkpath blib/lib/DBI
rm -f blib/lib/DBI/Changes.pm
cp Changes blib/lib/DBI/Changes.pm

ld: Invalid loader fixup in text space needed in output file for symbol "$000001AE" in input file "DBI.o"
*** Error exit code 1



Pertinent info:

root@ejl144[256] uname -a
HP-UX ejl144 B.11.11 U 9000/780 2010459265 unlimited-user license

root@ejl144[257] perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi

(perl -V available on request)

Any ideas appreciated.

which cc are you using?

I'm assuming it's ansiC and not the generic cc bundled that isn't much good for anything other than compiling the kernel.

You don't want to use gcc (why not, but ok). But it seems you are using gcc options for compiling (like the -mpa-risc-1-1). This option tells the gcc to produce a PA1.1 object. Your linker warning tells you that you did create a PA2.0 object. Hence the -mpa-risc-1-1 option did not work. That might cause your linker to fail, since you have mixed PA1.x and PA2.o objects.

Solution:
Use gcc or
use the equivalent cc-options for pa1.1 objects.

Your problems with GCC:

you are using a GCC compiled for HPUX11.0 on a HPUX11.11 system. That does not work if you have to use specific headers (like socket.h).

Goto http://devresource.hp.com/LPK/ to load a HPUX11.11 version of the gcc.
