problem compiling DBD::Oracle on hp-ux 11.23 Itanium

[Morten Kristiansen]

Hi,

I've installed Oracle 9.2.0.4, perl 5.8.8, DBI 1.53 and now trying DBD 1.19. Everything looks good until I run "make test", then I get errors like these:

t/55nested............../usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unsatisfied code symbol '__divsi3' in load module '/usr/local/src/DBD-Oracle-1.19/blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so'.

A little bit more information. The gcc compiler is a downloaded binary from "The porting and archiving center for HP-UX". I'm also using gnu make 3.81 compiled with gcc 4.1.1.

I've read the README files on perl and DBD and have run the suggested findSymbol, but it didn't find any '__divsi3'. I've also set all environment variables as suggested in the README files. Have also checked that the hints/hpux.sh is up to date.

So now I'm stucked. I don't have any knowledge on which libraries have to be included. So I don't know what to look for. Have tried to search both itrc forums and google without any luck.

Please help! Thanks in advance.

regards
Morten K

They say this symbol is defined in libgcc.

[Morten Kristiansen]

Thanks, but I've tried those and as you can see in the last link was he able to compile DBD, but failed in compiling Apache.

Can anybody tell me exact syntax to link in then libgcc library. I tried to set a environment variable LDFLAGS to /usr/local/lib/gcc/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/4.1.1/hpux64/libgcc.a and also included this catalogue in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SHLIB_PATH. I have also edited the config.sh to have "-lgcc" in the "libs" parameter.

When running "make test" in building perl, I get this message:
lib/ExtUtils/t/Embed......................Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgcc
ok

You would need -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/4.1.1/hpux64 -lgcc

>When running "make test" in building perl, I get this message:

I'm surprised why it says "harmless"??

[Morten Kristiansen]

Hi,

thanks for the quick answer and exuse my little knowledge of libraries and compiling packages. Can you also tell me where i should put that string? Is it when I'm compiling perl? And is it a parameter to Configure? What parameters should have this string?

[Morten Kristiansen]

I also have to say that I'm building perl with dynamic libs, but isn't liggcc.a a static library? Would that make any difference? Or making any problems for me?

[Dennis Handly]

>Can you also tell me where I should put that string?

No clue. If you put them in LDOPTS, then any link will have them.

>I'm building perl with dynamic libs, but isn't libgcc.a an archive library?

Hopefully you can put the one object into every shlib that needs it:
/usr/local/lib/hpux32/libgcc.a[__divsi3.o]:
0x00000000 T __divsi3

[Morten Kristiansen]

Thanks Dennis, but that wasn't any use for me. I don't have any parameter with name LDOPTS.

Anybody who knows how to do this?

[Morten Kristiansen]

OK, I tried to set the environment variable like this:
export LDOPTS='+s -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/4.1.1/hpux64 -lgcc'

then when running Configure under perl, I got this error:
Checking how to test for symbolic links...
You can test for symbolic links with 'test -h'.


Good, your tr supports [:lower:] and [:upper:] to convert case.
Using [:upper:] and [:lower:] to convert case.
ld: Can't find library or mismatched ABI for -lgcc
Fatal error.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
You need to find a working C compiler.

>I tried to set the environment variable like this:

That's what I would use except I would leave the +s for each step to add as needed.

>ld: Can't find library or mismatched ABI for -lgcc

Ok, it seems you are creating a 32 bit executable. That means you need to have BOTH 32 and 64 bit paths.

export LDOPTS='-L/usr/local/lib/gcc/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/4.1.1/hpux64 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/4.1.1/hpux32 -lgcc'
