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:

Later,

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

regards
Dirk

[Gerard McNeill]

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!!

[Ollie R]

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.

[Gerard McNeill]

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!!

[Ollie R]

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.

Dirk

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.

[Dirk Wiedemann]

just reading your last messages:
run
/usr/bin/perl -v
and
/usr/contrib/bin/perl -v
to check the versions.

[Gerard McNeill]

Hi Ollie and et al..

Thanks for the reply.

Attached is a file with the answers to your questions.

The file is an executable so it may look that perl is not installed properly!?!

Any ideas?

[Ollie R]

Hi Gerard,

Let's use another way - set the include directories explicitly:

# perl -help

...
-Idirectory specify @INC/#include directory (several -I's allowed)
...

Ollie.

[Dirk Wiedemann]

ok, /usr/bin/perl is assumedly a link to /application/opt/perl/bin/perl5.6.1 (type ll /usr/bin/perl to check this). After all this is not a big problem if perl (v5) is running.
The problem is that the config file from openssl didn't find the libraries from perl5 at the expectet point.
Have a look where are your perl libraries:
"find / -name perl5db.pl"

Dirk

[Ollie R]

Hi,

You need to link "/opt/perl" to the directory containing the perl "lib" directory, maybe "/application/opt/perl" in your case, so that "/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/strict.pm" finds the right file.

Good luck,

Ollie.

[Gerard McNeill]

Hi,

The perl libs are in the following directory -

/application/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/perl5db.pl

I have tried to link the following directorys -

ln -s /application/opt/perl /opt/perl

But still no joy!!

Any other suggestions??

[Dirk Wiedemann]

Is the link being created and configure doesn't work or can't you create the link?

[Gerard McNeill]

The link is being created but the configure is still not working.

Still complaining about being unable to find stricit.pm

[Dirk Wiedemann]

Another test:
in openssl source directory type
./config -h
the last line shows which perl is called. Please submit the output.
Dirk

[Gerard McNeill]

Dirk,

Copied the stricit.rpm from /application/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1 to /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1.

This got the ./config to work.

HOWEVER when i now perform an 'make', i get the following -

$ make

+ rm -f libssl

For compiling you need an ANSI C compiler (have a look at INSTALL file). It seems Your system use the standard cc compiler bundled with HPUX.
Have you installed the gnu gcc compiler to your system?

[Gerard McNeill]

As you can see from the swlist -

Ignite-UX-11-00 B.3.3.116 HP-UX Installation Utilities for
Installing 11.00 Systems

#

The gcc s/w is on the box.

So i don't think it is a compiler problem..

[Dirk Wiedemann]

Gerard,

cc is afaik not listet in swlist without options but always there.
Make the following:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gcc/bin
ln -s /usr/local/bin/as /usr/bin/as
export CC=c++
and then run make again.

Good luck
...must leave for today

Hi Gerard,

I would suggest taking the OpenSSL out of the equation by simplifying the problem.

If you type:

perl -e "use strict;"

it should produce the same problem.

Now you can experiment until the library is found and once this is successful the OpenSSL compilation should also work!

Good luck,

Ollie.

[Dirk Wiedemann]

Hello Gerard,

good morning from Germany.
Were you successful?

Dirk
