How to install Perl 5.6.1 DBD:Oracle DBI on 11i with gcc

[Mattias Johnsson]

Hi there,

I need some help on this. What is
the 'proper way' (if there is such a thing)
to install Perl561 DBD:Oracle and DBI on
HPUX 11i 64 bit.
I am running 64 bit Oracle 8.1.7.3
and have downloaded and installed the
GCC64 3.0.2.2001-11-14 depot
and the
Perl B.5.6.1.E depot from hp.
I already read some bad things about the perldepot (threaded and some library or
another missing)

I presume I need to install 64 bit perl?

Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks
/Matt

If you are using 64-bit Oracle, then you must build 64-bit PERL. Either way, PERL should be built as non-threaded, but still be linked to libpthreads so the threaded Oracle libraries will dynamically load.

I downloaded the stable perl source tarball.

I tried to run ./Configure -Dcc=gcc

But it ends up with:
########################################

gcc -o try -O -D_HPUX_SOURCE -L/lib/pa1.1
-DUINT32_MAX_BROKEN -fno-strict-aliasing
-L/usr/local/lib try.c -lcl -lpthread
-lnsl -lnm -lndbm -lmalloc -ldld -lm -lc
-lndir -lcrypt -lsec
./try

and I got the following output:

ld: Can't find library for -lndbm
Fatal error.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I can't compile the test program.

Full typescript attached.
Any ideas???

Thanks

I built PERL 5.8.0 using HP ANSI C/C++. Attached is perl -V. Would you like to obtain obtain our 64-bit build with DBI 1.30 and DBD::Oracle 1.12 for 64-bit Oracle 9.0.1?

[Mattias Johnsson]

We do not have the HP Ansi C compiler,
we only have GCC,
will it still work if I want to install
new modules that might need re-compiling?
I am also only running Oracle 8.1.7
will the fact that you are running Oracle 9
make any difference?

Thanks

I do no use gcc, so I'll defer. You'll find more useful info by searching for 'perl 64 dbi dbd oracle'

Hi, Jorden
I want to obtain the pre-compiled perl build: 64 bit+DBI+Oracle9i DBD you mentioned on hpux11i. Can you send me the download link or just give me?
Thank you!
Best regards,

Matt,

Unfortunately, it's a national holiday in the Netherlands, otherwise Procura (Merijn) would have replied by now. In his absence, you might want to check his web page for perl/oracle builds/downloads:

If time permits I might give it a go. Some things to think about before you start downloading when it arrives:

?? It is DBD::Oracle *prepared*, but does not /include/ DBD::Oracle, for all the obvious reasons.
?? It will be build with gcc-3.3 prerelease (which is actually pretty good), but it it is not (yet) available as prebuilt binary
?? It will be built on HP-UX 11.00, not 11i

[ I got your mail, and I know you want 5.6.1. It should not take me too much time, but if it does, I probably better make gcc-3.3/64 available sooner than I planned ]

I'd rather have you choose for 5.8.0/64, because I have to do some tweaking to make 5.6.1 build with gcc-3.3 and would choose to avoid that.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

64bit perl-5.8.0 Oracle prepared built with gcc-3.3 20030421 available on https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/ or http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/ as of this afternoon (wait a few days for beepz, uploading is rather sluggish)

Also available the gcc-3.3 I built it with

No guarantees. Usa at own risk. (The perl test suite passed all tests, as did the test suites for all included modules)
