C/ANSI Compiler Install- error untarring file

[Joe Schutz]

I am attempting to install perl 5.8.5 from source on HP-UX 11.00 (9000/800/L2000-44).

The default C compilier (cc) does not work.
I am attempting to install gcc 3.0.1 binary (downloaded from http://gcc.gnu.org) which is a version specific to HP-UX 11.00 platform.

When I untar the binaries (i.e. tar -xvf) some files show up as @LongLink. I understand this may be due to incompatibilities in versions of tar in how it handles Long Filenames
(i.e. I think tar was done on Linux).
How can I get around this limitation ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Joe

tar is compatable on both systems.

More likely the download on the Linux machine was incomplete.

Hi Joe,

You can download the precompiled binaries from this site,

Hope this helps.

Sanjay,

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the 64 bit versions for the site.
- "perl 5.8.5 + defined-or prepared for
Oracle + DBI 1.43 + tk 804.027
built with gcc-3.4.1"
- "gcc 3.4.1 + binutils 2.15 + gdb 6.1.1"

I was able to successfully install perl 5.8.5 and gcc 3.4.1 and modified my PATH.
PATH=$PATH:/opt/perl64/bin/perl
PATH=$PATH:/maint/pa20_64/bin

I am on a HPUX B11.0.0 (9000/800/L2000-44)
and running Oracle 8.1.6.0.0.

Next I succesfully installed DBI version 1.20
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

When attempting to install DBD version 1.12
I received the following error during make.
Unrecognized argument: -Wl,+s Fatal Error
(referring to the "ld" command).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Joe
