Hi,
I am new to this arena of "Make" and "GCC", so I probably do something
wrong. Searching around in news groups and internet did gave some hints and
tips but not the solution for the following problem:
The linker LD can not find "libgcc.a and libgcc_eh.a". The first step "perl
Makefile.PL" seems to run fine. The next step gives lots of the following
messages:
dbdimp.c:85: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type and
dbdimp.c:236: warning: passing arg 1 of `fprintf' from incompatible pointer
type
These are warnings, so I asume they are not really important, the linker
gives more important error
ld: 0706-005 Cannot find or open file: libgcc.a
ld:open(): A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
The last step I took is that I copied the last step from the make into a
seperate script and added the absolute directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable. I also made symbolic links in /usr/local/lib. This didnot gave me
any positive result.
What did I do:
I downloaded perl 5.8, DBI and DBD from this site. I downloaded GCC from an
site with all kinds of AIX down loads. I build perl 5.8 with GCC and all
default settings. Did some tests with it and it seems to be alright. I need
an interface with Oracle and started building the module DBI and DBD. To me
it is unclear which one needs to be done first.
Does anyone resolved the linker problem? I have the idea that command is not
build correctly??? I would appriciate your help very much, so I can start
using the latest version perl as sonn as possible, as I am now using 5.3
still.
