Perl - problem: Got error's when trying a 'make' of "Date-Calc-5.4"

[Peter Mahler]

Hi,
I've problems to install the Perl-module
"Date-Calc-5.4" on a Itanium 2 -system.

HP-UX-Version: HP-UX B.11.23 U
Perl-Version: v5.8.5 built for IA64.ARCHREV_0
gcc-Version: 3.4.3

#perl Makefile.PL --> run w/o problems
#
#~/tmp/Date-Calc-5.4
# make
gcc -c -D_HPUX_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -O0 -DVERSION=\"5.4\" -DXS_VERSION=\"5.4\" -fPIC "-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/IA64.ARCHREV_0/CORE" Calc.c
In file included from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/IA64.ARCHREV_0/CORE/perl.h:4112,
from Calc.xs:15:
/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 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/IA64.ARCHREV_0/CORE/perl.h:4113,
from Calc.xs:15:
/usr/include/sys/sem.h:91: error: field `sem_perm' has incomplete type
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

Since I'm not very familiar with HP-UX and Perl ( I just use it ) I need some help / ideas how to solve the problem.

Thanks in advance!

Peter

I think your gcc does not exact match your OS release and/or your include files are not up to date.

This is not perl's or Date::Calc's fault.

The Perl-Version you state matches your OS, but you did not state the full version for gcc

FWIW, a more recent version of perl is available from my site. It already includes Date::Calc
