Continued problems compiling DBD::Oracle

[MauriceConway]

Good day,

I am still having problems trying to get DBD::Oracle to compile on my HPUX 11.23 Itanium server.

Specifics:

Server: Itanium
OS: HPUX11.23
Perl: 5.8.0 64bit, not-threaded
DBI: 1.50
DBD::Oracle: 1.14
Make: make-3.80

If I execute make without any changes to the Makefile, I get;

(notice the "ld: Unrecognized argument: -Wl,+s")
********************************************
LD_RUN_PATH="/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/lib:/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/rdbms/lib" /usr/bin/ld -b -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/hpux64 Oracle.o dbdimp.o oci7.o oci8.o -Wl,+s -Wl,+n +DD64 -o build -L/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/rdbms/lib/ -L/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/lib/ -lclntsh -lnbeq10 -lnhost10 -lnus10 -lnldap10 -lldapclnt10 -lnsslb10 -lnoname10 -lntcp10 -lntcps10 -lnsslb10 -lntcp10 -lntns10 -l:librt.so -l:libnss_dns.so.1 -l:libdld.so -lm -lpthread -lunwind -lm -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so

Fatal error.
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so] Error 1
********************************************

I found where someone removed the "-Wl, +s" entry from the Makefile and they reported it fixing the problem, I followed their instructions and got this output;

(notice the "ld: Unrecognized argument: -Wl,+n")
********************************************
LD_RUN_PATH="/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/lib:/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/rdbms/lib" /usr/bin/ld -b -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/hpux64 Oracle.o dbdimp.o oci7.o oci8.o -Wl,+n +DD64 -o build -L/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/rdbms/lib/ -L/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/lib/ -lclntsh -lnbeq10 -lnhost10 -lnus10 -lnldap10 -lldapclnt10 -lnsslb10 -lnoname10 -lntcp10 -lntcps10 -lnsslb10 -lntcp10 -lntns10 -l:librt.so -l:libnss_dns.so.1 -l:libdld.so -lm -lpthread -lunwind -lm -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so
ld: Unrecognized argument: -Wl,+n
********************************************

At this point, not sure what to do, I just did like before and removed the "-Wl,+n" from the Makefile to see if it makes a difference, this is what I got after making the above change;

(notice the "ld: Unrecognized argument: +DD64")
********************************************
LD_RUN_PATH="/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/lib:/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/rdbms/lib" /usr/bin/ld -b -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/hpux64 Oracle.o dbdimp.o oci7.o oci8.o +DD64 -o build -L/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/rdbms/lib/ -L/app/common/oracle/product/10.1.0.4/lib/ -lclntsh -lnbeq10 -lnhost10 -lnus10 -lnldap10 -lldapclnt10 -lnsslb10 -lnoname10 -lntcp10 -lntcps10 -lnsslb10 -lntcp10 -lntns10 -l:librt.so -l:libnss_dns.so.1 -l:libdld.so -lm -lpthread -lunwind -lm -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so
ld: Unrecognized argument: +DD64
Fatal error.
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so] Error 1
********************************************

So, now I remove the unrecognized "+DD64" argument from the Makefile, and it looks like it may complete, but when I run "make test" it blows up, here is the output from "make test";

Its fairly long, sorry for the large output, hopefully its helpfull

Again, I am sorry for the long posting, I am just trying to provide as much information as possible so someone may be able to assist me in solving this.

At this point, Im kind of lost. I am pretty weak in Perl, so if its an obvious problem, or even detailed, I would love to know why this is failing.

Thank you.

I explained this in: http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1032124
Either you remove ALL "-Wl," and the +DD64 or you replace /usr/bin/ld by a compiler driver, like cc.

As to your new problem:
/usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Cannot dlopen load module '/usr/lib/hpux64/libpthread.so.1' because it contains thread specific data.

I would suggest you remove -lpthread from your link line, if you don't call pthread_create. (But that probably won't work because -lclntsh also includes it.)

So your only solution is to export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/hpux64/libpthread.so.1.

[MauriceConway]

Good morning Dennis, and thank you for the reply. I will try what you suggested and post my results.

thanks again.
