perl DBI problem

[Paul_481]

Hi,

I am trying to install DBI on our server, I have successfully download and install perl from merjins website (perl-5.8.6-gcc-3.4.3-11.11-elf64.tbz) and DBI-1.48 (CPAN).

I am following these steps.

1. #perl Makefile.PL (successull)
2. #make (error - see below)
3. #make test
4. #make install

I received the following error. I've check other threads regarding this error and from there it says compiler problem. We have aCC installed in HPUX 11.11 64 bit.

Stop.


Any would would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul,

I wonder about the dependency on the C/ANSI C compiler ? Might you try this link:

If you got my build, then why build DBI???

My build already includes the most recent DBI!

# perl -MV=DBI

Furthermore, *IF* you are using *my* build, you have a $PATH problem, because your phase 1 (perl Makefile.PL) shows that the perl you use wants to use the HP C-ANSI-C compiler, and all my builds are created with GNU gcc.

# which perl

should be /opt/perl/bin/perl or /opt/perl64/bin/perl

DBI is an XS module, which means you will ness an ANSI C compiler to build it. In almost all cases it is preferable to use the same compiler as the one perl was build with. In my case that is- as said - GNU gcc, which you can also fetch from my site.

Hi Merijin,

Thanks, It is a PATH problem.
