Perl Compiling Problem

[twtandigi.com.my]

I wonder if i am the only one having such a problem compiling perl on HP-UX version 11.00


rm -f libperl.a
/usr/local/bin/ar rcu libperl.a perl.o malloc.o gv.o toke.o perly.o op.o regcomp.o dump.o util.o mg.o hv.o av.o run.o pp_hot.o sv.o pp.o scope.o pp_ctl.o pp_sys.o doop.o doio.o regexec.o utf8.o taint.o deb.o universal.o xsutils.o globals.o perlio.o perlapi.o
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libfl.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
*** Termination signal 134

/usr/local/lib archives do not belong to the standard HP-UX distribution, and you somehow told perl to include this library.

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2003-February/msg00031.html

shows that you are not the first to hit this problem.

http://www.froglogic.com/pg?id=PublicationsFreeware&category=hpux-tips

states that libfl.sl is avaible from the porting center:

--8<---
Missing libfl.sl
Many GNU packages have a dependency on libfl.sl. This is the runtime library of the GNU fast lexical analyzer generator. You can download a flex package from

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/flex-2.5.4a/
should - theoretically - include that lib

Thank you.

It is working, perl is compiling at this moment.

thank you

Any reason for compiling perl yourself? There are many good binary distributions available already.

Porting center has 5.8.3 on http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.3/

I have 5.8.4 for 10.20, 11.00/32, 11.00/64, 11i/32, and 11i/64, on my HP ITRC site pages that can be found at (please use LA as primary choice):

I wanted to use some new perl distribution but there are some issues that.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

What issues? Issues are there to be resolved, and since I'm in the Perl development team, I'd like to know what the issues are, so the can be resolved in future releases if that would serve the public demand

the issue is the management.
