Perl install problem on HP-UX11.01

[john_611]

The system already installed Perl 5.004 version.
I'm tring to build a Perl 5.8.0 version on HP-UX11.01 (Workstation B180)..But installed Perl software doesn't work and
come out follow error message...

$ perl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libsec.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)

I putted the software at /usr/local and type
< swinstall -s "/usr/local/xxxxx" perl > command..

How do i correctly build a Perl software and how can i fix that problem...?

Please...give me a information....
Thanks..

Why not pick up the depot from:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.0/
and then use swinstall to install it.
Sounds like that would be a simpler thing
for you to do.

OR even you can download the source if u have a C compiler installed. But i like depot with seperate paths, may be /usr/local/perl580

btw, did you try correctly setting the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

if u installed perl 58 in /usr/local, u may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ur correct library paths like

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/perl/lib: like this

try finding dld.sl and set the directory in Load library path...

and try testing perl with

/usr/local/perl58/bin/perl -v

None of the above three answers will provide you with libsec.2 :)

John, can we do a sanity check on the HP-UX release number? 11.01 doesn't sound right. Unless you managed to get a pre-release version of HP-UX somewhere along the line, I can't see how you would be running a version by that number.

Procura, I'm sure your intentions were good, but installing HP-UX software bypassing SD is likely to lead to inconsistencies on the system (swverify errors, lack of proper dependency checking, etc. at the very least).

libsec has been shipped with every version of HP-UX since 10.00. If it's not on the system, or if the version numbers don't match, it's probably a sign of a bigger problem that should be looked into before worrying about perl.

HI, Doug Hosking..

I checked my HP-UX version again..
It's HP-UX 10.20 base...I was confused.. Because When I type "version" command, the message is "HP-UX 11.01" ..But Original HP-UX DAT tape is 10.20 basic HP-UX..So i re-installed the HP-UX 10.20 sofeware on my workstation, and i tried to get a Perl 5.6.x or 5.8.x version for HP-UX 10.20 base.. But I couldn't find the software...
Do you know where i can get the software..?
Please help me...
