precomplied perl modules for hpux

[Sammy_2]

perl 5.6 on hpux 11.0

I need some modules beyond the standard set but I've run into a problem trying to compile one of them from source. But then it occured to me, some vendors (like Active State) provide a library of precompiled modules for quick install into their version of Perl. Might that be the case here? The module that's giving me problems is Math::GMP, and it relies on the GNU MP library (libgmp). The latter has multiple ABI's which depend on how it's compiled and I'm having trouble coming up with the right configuration to match the way Perl was compiled, so it keeps giving errors. So if there is a way to get around having to compile this it would really help.

Hi,

you may want to check
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/
for gmp.
Most of the time I found the depots I needed there.

Cheers,
Rene

Perl 5.6 might be at:

Aiaiai, SEP. Writing your own address wrong :)

My HP ITRC site pages can be found at

Singapore https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/
Rotterdam http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/
Seattle http://ww.hpux.ws/merijn/

but there are no perl-5.6.x ports there, only 5.8 and beyond:

perl-5.8.0-gcc-3.2-11.00-pa20-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.0-gcc-3.3-11.00-elf64-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.1-dor-gcc-3.3.1-11.00-elf64-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.1-dor-gcc-3.3.1-11.00-pa20-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.1-gcc-3.3.1-11.00-elf64-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.1-gcc-3.3.1-11.00-pa20-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.2-gcc-3.3.2-11.00-elf64-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.2-gcc-3.3.2-11.00-pa20-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.3-gcc-3.3.2-11.00-elf64-ora.tbz
perl-5.8.3-gcc-3.3.2-11.00-pa20-ora.tbz

That site also hosts ports for 10.20 and 11i. HP still has 5.6.1 available, only for 11.00 and 11i on http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=PERL

The HP porting centers only have 5.8.2 available

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn
