By the way, to get as far as I got in that post I first had to do the
following to a clean tarball of DBD::Informix. I don't know if this is
relevant or not in DBD::Informix land, but I thought it'd be better to
post it. (I know squat about C, just enough to usually get things compiled
by any means necessary. -grin-)
First "perl Makefile.PL" does this:
Testing whether your Informix test environment will work...
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp': A file or directory in the path name
does not exist.
gcc: file path prefix `/opt/freeware/GNUPro/lib/gcc-lib/rtl/2.9-aix51-020209/' never
used
Failed to compile esqltest.ec to esqltest.o
So I add "cpp" to my path:
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > find /opt/freeware -name "cpp"
/opt/freeware/GNUPro/bin/cpp
/opt/freeware/GNUPro/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/2.9-aix51-020209/cpp
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > export PATH=$PATH:/opt/freeware/GNUPro/bin
Then "perl Makefile.PL" does this:
Testing whether your Informix test environment will work...
cpp: -lang-c: linker input file unused since linking not done
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': A file or directory in the path name
does not exist.
gcc: file path prefix `/opt/freeware/GNUPro/lib/gcc-lib/rtl/2.9-aix51-020209/' never

So I add "cc1" to my path:

So I copy a libgcc.a into the current directory (I've tried a couple
different ones):

cp
/opt/freeware/GNUPro/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/2.9-aix51-020209/powerpc/libgcc.a
./
But it seems all for naught, bringing me back to the state of my first
post. All attempts to use DBD::Informix throw this:
gmake test
t/t00basic..........install_driver(Informix) failed: Can't load
'/junk/jhannah/DBD-Informix-2003.04/blib/arch/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix.so' for

Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
at /junk/jhannah/DBD-Informix-2003.04/blib/lib/DBD/Informix/TestHarness.pm line 183

etc...
As you can see, my C cluelessness abounds. Save me, please! -grin-
