Dependencies on C library

[Kalin Evtimov]

Still trying to compile a module for perl, getting the error:

ld: Can't find library or mismatched ABI for -lrrd

I am sure that I didn't mixed 32 and 64bit mode. The dependencies in Makefile are:

# --- MakeMaker depend section:
RRDs.c : ../src/.libs/librrd.a

I checked the folder and the library exists as file.

What could be the reason for this error?
Thank you.

Do you have PHSS_22478 installed?

[Kalin Evtimov]

How can I check? Is that some kind of patch?

[Kalin Evtimov]

Is it for IA64 HP-UX 11.23 or it doesn't matter?

[Stephen Keane]

Its the latest ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch. But I didn't realise you were using Itanium, so it's not appropriate for your system.

[Kalin Evtimov]

There is also a patch for 11.23 for the linker PHSS_32765.

I could try this, if suitable.

[Stephen Keane]

If it is the latest recommended path for your system, I'd certainly install it and see if it helps. You can always remove it, provided you haven't committed it.

Not a C guru like others, but the following line looks a bit creepy to me:

RRDs.c : ../src/.libs/librrd.a

What do you want to do by making a .c file depend on an .a

Try like
RRDs.c : ../src/*.h
RRDs.o : libs/librrd.a

I installed this patch, but it did nothing, as it seems, this was not the reason.. :(

Which perl module are you trying to install?

Do you have the latest gcc compiler and binutils? if not see: http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,547,00.html

I am trying to install the RRDs module from RRDtool.
I also have the gcc-3.4.3 from HP

[harry d brown jr]

The RRDs from cpan.org?

I compiled RRDtool from
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/
and there is a perl-shared directory in it. There are the sources of the module.

There is no separate RRDs module on CPAN.

vibhor_agarwalin,

this was produced by the Makefile.PL

harry d brown jr,

which format is the gcc 4.0.0 depot, it ends with gz, but cannot be extracted with gunzip?

[Stephen Keane · Accepted solution]

Rename it without the .gz and do a tar vft on it. I think it is just a tar file.

[harry d brown jr]

did you download this version? http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.9.tar.gz

No other follow ups on this: http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-users/msg09767.html

Where did you get the cgilib?

[Kalin Evtimov]

Yes, this worked, but even this gcc gives me the same error.

harry d brown jr,

I downloaded rrdtool-1.0.49 and it doesn't require any packages, as the last versions.
