Thread: PL/Perl on HPUX
When I run './configure --with-perl' for 7.3.1 on an HPUX 11.0 system I get the error about it not being able to build PL/Perl because libperl is not a shared library, as mentioned in the installation docs. In my case, I installed perl 5.8 using the package from the HP Porting & Archive Center. The doc for 7.3.1 suggests that libperl IS a shared library for most 'recent perl versions', so it seems like it should work. But it doesn't. Is there a way around this? I checked the mail archives and it looks like there's been some discussion of this, but no clear answers (to me anyway). Regards, Petre Scheie

Well, is it? Do you have a libperl.sl, or just libperl.a?
Personally I have no problem with plperl on HPUX 10.20, but I build Perl
from source so that I can tell its configure script to build a shared
library. Last time I did that, which was perl 5.8.0, shared library was
still *not* the default choice. I have no idea what the Porting Center
chose for their build, but you should easily be able to tell from the
installed filename.

Sorry, forgot that little detail: I have libperl.a. I got the perl source, but in order to build in support for files >2GB, one must use HP's ansi c compiler, which I don't have on this box. It can be done with gcc, but gcc has to have been built using HP's ansi c compiler not the built-in k&r compiler, so either way I need the ansi c compiler. Sigh.

Back in the days (6 years back) when I used HP-UX, you could download a binary of gcc from the Liverpool University archive. -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Thanks, David, for the link to gcc-64. I got the 64-bit gcc from sunsite but, after bunzipping it, I untar it, and after a couple hundred files are untarred, I get a 'directory checksum error'. Does this mean my tar file is corrupted? Or something else?

Does > this mean my tar file is corrupted? Or something else? I really don't know much about hp-ux, I'm much more familiar with solaris and a few other unix's. I can give you few suggestions though, based on what I would do in this situtation. It does sound like the tar file is corrupted. make sure , if youre using ftp to download it, use binary mode and possibly passive ftp. Try downloading the gcc package from hp (they have a few different versions and install instructions) http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,547,00.html Actually I think from hp's site you get the package in .depot format, which means you may not have to untar anything... Hope this helps. good luck. > > David Nicely wrote: > >> Oliver Elphick wrote: >> >>> On Tue, 2003-02-04 at 19:48, Petre Scheie wrote: >>> >>> >>>> Sorry, forgot that little detail: I have libperl.a.
