** DBD INSTALLATION USING GCC ON HPUX 11 **

[Gretton, Michael , , WHS/PSD]

To All:

I have been fighting this problem for weeks and I am close to giving up.  My
environment is as follows:  HPUX 11.00, Perl 5.6.1 (compiled according to
the README.hpux notes).  I am using GCC to compile the code.  My make test
for perl was clean except for two scripts that failed grent.t and pwent.t.
Looking at these scripts, it appears that they are relatively benign.  They
most likely failed because I running in trusted mode.  Having said that - my
Perl compiles with 256 successful script tests and fails only 2.  The DBI
(1.20) code compiles and the test appears to work well.  I do get some
warnings during make such as:

Perl.xsi: In function `XS_DBD__Perl__st__prepare':
Perl.xsi:197: warning: operation on `PL_na' may be undefined
Perl.xsi: In function `XS_DBD__Perl__st_bind_param':

But at the end I get this:

Made 100 connections in  1 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr +  0.01 sys =  0.03
CPU)

I ** THINK ** my DBI is good.

When I compile DBD I follow the readmes but get this:

        PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/perl5/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib
-I/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC2.0 -I/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1 -e 'use
Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t
t/base..............ok

t/general...........dubious

        Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b)
        test program seems to have generated a core
t/long..............dubious

        Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b)

t/ph_type...........dubious

I really need some assistance if anyone has it.  I have heard that GCC and
HPUX 11 builds are very difficult but if anyone has done this successfully,
please shoot me an email it would be greatly appreciated.  If you need more
information from me, please ask and I will provide as much as I can.  I
would hate to have to scrap this project and move to another platform.  I
want this to work.  I am not a programmer so compilers and etc are a bit of
a weakness for me but I CAN READ and I have been unable to put this together
with the technical stuff I have read so far.  Please help!
