Compiling Perl

[Rafael Casero]

We have an issue with Compiling Perl, Application vendor is saying due to the root .profile is the issue.

The difference is that on the root .profile the following lines exist and would like know if this would make the difference on compiling perl.


PS1="`hostname`: \$PWD =>"

alias xme='xterm -fg White -bg Navy -display xxx.xx.x.xx:0.0 &'
alias viblog='vi /var/sam/log/br_log'
alias vislog='vi /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log'
alias vimlog='vi /var/adm/syslog/mail.log'
alias viblog='vi /var/sam/log/br_log/'
alias rtmail='vi /var/mail/root'

#Begin Temporary Warehouse variables - remove after last migration

export WHHOME=/opt/taurus/whii/@
export WHSECLIB=libsec.1
export WHTRUST=1
. /opt/taurus/bin/conv.env
. /usr/local/bin/oracle_setup

#End Temporary Warehouse variables - remove after last migration

Thanks,

Nothing in the code snippet you provided should cause an issue in compiling (except maybe the conv.env or oracle_setup scripts -- without seeing their content we can't rule them out).

What problem/error are you getting during compile?

Is there a specific reason you are compiling perl? HP provides a pre-built depot so you don't have to pull your hair out:

Thanks.

Well, these variable assignments *could* screw up compilation:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;export LIBPATH
SHLIB_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;export SHLIB_PATH

Without knowing the exact error you're getting during compile there's no way of knowing if this is even the right direction, though.

Again, do you NEED to compile perl? Why not just install the depot?

[Rafael Casero]

It has been already done, we just want to confirm what the Application vendor is saying the cause is.

Thanks,
