Perl - GMP errors

[N Rommack]

I am trying to install Math::GMP ( eventually trying to install SFTP,SSH & DBD::Oracle) . I'm using Merijn's Perl 5.8.8 build with gcc 3.4.3 (also installed) and am having the following problems. When I first ran the make on GMP, it had a problem finding the gmp.h and libgmp.sl so I'm trying to create that make file with the following command

perl Makefile.PL INC="-I/usr/local/include" LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib/hpux64 -lgmp"

Output of Make --->

Stop.

So I'm not really sure what's going wrong at this point. Any help would be appreciated

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

cpp: "GMP.xs", line 4: error 4036: Can't open include file 'gmp.h'.

So I cannot test personally.

Some small questions, as I don't think it is perl's fault

Which perl did you use? The first or the second build?
The first accidentally had a wrong define in the configuration causing some strange failures somewhere. The second was a rebuild from the ground up. See the remarks on my site:
--8<--- (on the site this is formatted :)
5.8.8 02-02-2006 gcc-4.0.2
gcc-3.4.6 DBI-1.50, Tk-804.027
DBI-1.53, Tk-804.027 The builds on 11.11 (11iv1) are with gcc-3.4.5, because 4.0.2/64 still causes major trouble.
The builds on 11.11 (11iv1) do not include SSL modules.
First build was accidentally created with -DPERL_DONT_CREATE_GVSV. A new build has been uploaded.

11.00 or 11.11?

As the most recent version from Math::GMP is from 28 Sep 2004, it is also likely that it has not been fully tested against 64bit builds, which you are using.

Look here if you can spot similarities between failures on 64bit machines and your box:
http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Math-GMP.html#Math-GMP-2.04

And here to see the reported bugs for this module:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Math-GMP

And BINGO:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=5960
#5960: Math::GMP tests fail on 64-bit platforms

So, not your fault/problem, nor mine. Read that last link. If I'm not mistaken, a solution/workaround is posted.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
