From: Priest, Darryl - BALTO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Did you build your own perl, or are you using the perl shipped with AIX?
I built 5.8.0 myself, first w/ AIX's C compiler (w/ all patches circa July 2003) lslpp -l | grep "C for" vac.C 6.0.0.4 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler vac.C.readme.ibm 6.0.0.1 COMMITTED C for AIX iFOR/LS Information vac.html.SBCS.search 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler vac.html.common.search 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler vac.html.en_US.C 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler vac.html.en_US.search 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler vac.lic 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Licence Files vac.msg.en_US.C 6.0.0.1 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler Messages - xlC.cpp 5.0.2.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor xlC.msg.en_US.cpp 5.0.2.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor vac.C 6.0.0.4 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler vac.html.SBCS.search 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler vac.html.common.search 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler vac.html.en_US.search 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler Then since that didn't work (and making gcc myself failed) I punted to an AIX RPM of gcc gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/2.9-aix51-020209/specs gcc version 2.9-aix51-020209 > Perl and DBI / DBD::Informix must be compiled with the same compiler. Indeed. I'm careful that I am doing all 3 on the same compiler. > We're on AIX 5.2 and I built my own perl, not trusting the threaded perl version > that IBM had shipped. Did you get DBI installed without problems? What about > other modules? Yes, everything seems fine w/ the install of Perl and DBI, except for warnings. Date::Calc, for instance, CPAN'd on no problem. Not being a C guru, I never know an ignorable warning vs. a deadly one, and for whatever reason compiling anything on AIX always seems to throw gobs of warnings... > What's the output from perl -V? You're replying to my 2nd post. My 1st one (15 minutes earlier) has exhaustive diagnostics in it, including "perl -V". Thanks, j
