Perl-TK

[David Yates_2]

I was wondering if anyone has been able to successfully load the TK module for Perl5 onto an HPUX 11.0 system. How did you manage it and did you have to overcome any errors or config problems to complete the load?

Hi,

To aid resolution, perhaps you would like to provide us a more detailed description of the exact compilation errors.

Regards.

David,

We are currently using Perk/Tk under HP-UX 10.20 (I compiled it and it runs perfectly), but I didn't try it under 11. You should glance at the following URL, where you'll find precompiled binaries hor HP-UX 11:

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Fred.

When I try to install the Tk bundle from CPAN, this is the error that I get:

It sounds like you may need the X11 include files for this to work, which are part of the X11MotifDevKit product. As far as I know this is only available as part of the ANSI C developers bundle that requires purchasing (its codeword protected on the apps CDs).
