Openssl and perl problem

[Gerard McNeill]

Hi all,

I am attempting to build openssl but i am getting the following problem -

$ ./config -DCFLAGS=+z

Operating system: 9000/778-hp-hpux11

Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1 /opt/perl/lib/site_pe

rl/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /opt/perl/lib/site_perl .) at ./Configure line 9.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./Configure line 9.

This system (hpux-parisc-cc) is not supported. See file INSTALL for details.

I have tried to perform an ln -s command to link the location but no joy..

Any ideas

Maybe useful:

Hello Gerard,

as Bill suggest you can get a precompiled version under the link.
But if you want to compile openssl by yourself: perl5 stays normaly in the directory /opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1, the config tool search in /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1

Hi,

Still no joy here.

The perl5.6.1 is in the following directory -

/application/opt/perl/bin/perl5.6.1

but i am getting no joy with installing OpenSSL.

It seems unable to find it!

All suggestions are welcome!!

Hi Gerard,

The "config" script looks in the PATH environment variable to locate the perl installation.

It looks for the first PATH entry containing "perl5" and takes the dirname from that.

Please check that the first PATH entry that mentions "perl5" is the correct location and if not then manually edit your "/etc/MANPATH", run ". /etc/MANPATH" and try the compilation again.

Good luck,

Ollie.

Hi Ollie,

Thanks for the reply.

But there is no mention of perl5 in the MANPATH file.

Should i edit the file and put the following directory in /application/opt/bin/perl??

All suggestions welcomed!!

Hi Gerard,

Sorry, my brain appears to be on vacation today!

For every "MANPATH" read "PATH".

What do you get when you issue the commands "whereis perl" and "whence perl"?

Ollie.

[Gerard McNeill]

Ollie,

Here you go -

$whereis perl
perl: /usr/bin/perl /usr/contrib/bin/perl

$whence perl
/usr/bin/perl

[Dirk Wiedemann]

I'm not sure if it's just a typo: is your perl directory named /application/opt/perl/bin/perl5.6.1 or /application/opt/perl/bin/perl/5.6.1 ?
A simple way: if the directory /opt/perl dos not exist, you can create a link with "ln -s /application/opt/perl/bin/perl /opt/perl".

To the MANPATH: afaik it sets only a system wide search path for man pages, not for applications and libraries. Anyway, before changing the files MANPATH and PATH in /etc (and of course new login) you can run tests:
"export MANPATH=/perlverzeichnis:$MANPATH"

and
"export PATH=/perlverzeichnis:$PATH"
and look what happened.

Another test:
run "whereis perl" to find out if you have installed various versions of perl.

Hi Gerard,

This is a problem.

Can you tell me, is "/application/opt/perl/bin/perl5.6.1" a directory or a file?

If it's a directory, what is the structure below it?

If it's an executable then there is a major problem with your "perl" installation.

Ollie.
