problem compiling RRDtool on HP-UX

[Kalin Evtimov]

Hello!
I tried to install RRDtool on HP-UX 11i, Itanium machine, but after running sh config i get:

Could not find the Compiler: "gcc"
which has been used to build perl. You may have to compile
your own copy of perl to make this work. Binary perls often
exhibit this problem

I installed the gcc Compiler, but this didn`t help, still the same. I have Perl 5.8.0 on the machine.
Can anybody help me? 10x in advance.

download the source to perl and install it.

You also have gmake and the bintools, correct?

Yes, I have them. I just changed the PATH and added usr/local/bin and this worked. Unfortunately I cannot understand why make stops:

from RRDs.xs:6:
/usr/include/sys/ipc.h:51: error: parse error before "cid_t"
/usr/include/sys/ipc.h:56: error: parse error before '}' token
In file included from /opt/perl/lib/5.8.0/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h:3951,

iirc gcc like to muck with system include files. sometimes that process does not go as intended.

I think you should use ANSI C compiler.
