Option for linker.

[Mehdi_1]

Hi

I am trying to port perl-5.6.1 on ia64 platform. Some of the libraries such as "-ldbm" in ia64 are still PA-RISC and the linker cannot load them.

Is there any option with linker that can overcome this problem?

Hi,

If you need this library and have no
ia64-version of it then there is no
linker-option that can help you.
I do not know this library but for hp-ux 11.00
it is listed under this section in the
release-notes:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
4.4 32-bit Libraries Not Compilable/Linkable on 64-bit HP-UX

The 32-bit libraries listed below are not linkable or compilable on 64-bit
HP-UX.


Check the release-notes on your machine.
