Hello,
I am trying to install Perl DBI on an HPUX Cluster Server. Here are the particulars:
* Unix Version: 11.11 * Informix Version: 9.30.FC1-1 * DBI Version: DBI-1.38 * DBD Version: DBD-Informix-2003.04
And ESQL/C 9.51.FC1. Thanks for including the OOPS.log output.
I have succeeded in making DBI, but I am having trouble making DBD. At the end of the ouput from make, I get the following error output:
LD_RUN_PATH="" ld -b -s -a shared Informix.o dbdimp.o dbdattr.o sqltoken.o sqltype.o ixblob.o decsci.o odbctype.o link.o esqlcver.o esqlc_v6.o -L/ opt/informix9.30.FC1-1/lib -L/opt/informix9.30.FC1-1/lib/esql -lifsql -lifasf -lifgen -lifos -lifgls -lnsl -lm -lsec /opt/informix9.30.FC1-1/lib/esql/ checkapi.o -lifglx -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix.sl ld: dbdimp.o: Mismatched ABI. 64-bit PA object file found in 32-bit link. *** Error exit code 1
Somewhere along the line, I've dropped the flag that tells the linker (ld) that you're doing a 64-bit link. Suggestion - look at the equivalent line for DBI and see what's different. There's an option to ld missing above. Then you can do one of a variety of things to complete the build with the correct option. I'd probably do a cut'n'paste on the output from make and insert the extra option.
Stop.
I have looked on the Internet to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. I found some postings, but did not find anything that helped.
I have attached a LOG file, OOPS.log, that contains the output from the following:
* perl Makefile.PL * make
Another perturbing factor in this install of Perl DBI is that this installation is in a clustered environment. There are multiple virtual servers residing on this one clustered server (~65 virtual servers). There is a shared perl at /usr/bin/perl among others. When I build this Custom Perl, I need to locate it in a unique directory, relative to the PACKAGE ROOT Directory. In my case, this path is as follows:
/cm-donp/opt/bin/perl
When I built DBI, I had to run make as follows:
make PREFIX=/cm-donp/opt
Ooh; this is a wholly separate problem. My personal advice is to avoid modifying /usr/bin/perl -- there's too much danger of breaking something in the system.
This worked just fine; all the DBI files ended up under /cm-donp/opt. When I look at the LOG file output, it says something about using DBI version 1.35. I built 1.38. How do I point to my version of DBI? Make appears to be using a pre-existing DBI 1.35 installation in the following directory:
/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1/auto/DBI
Yes - the DBD::Informix was built with DBI 1.35, not 1.38.
My 1.38 built version is in:
/cm-donp/opt/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1/auto/DBI
You have to set an environment variable or equivalent. Am I imagining things if I mention PERL5_LIB? You'd set that to inlude some prefix of that path name - I'm hesitant to say which. It might be as short as /cm-donp/opt/lib; it might be as long as up to PA-RISC1.1.
Are there changes that need to be made to Makefile.PL to point to my 1.38 version? Anything else?
I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am up against a tight schedule, and am in desperate need of assistance.

I'm not quite sure about your path to Perl - is /cm-donp/opt/bin/perl the executable or a directory? The way I do it (not the only way - TMTOWTDI - and not even necessarily the best) is to install Perl into /home/jleffler/perl/v5.008002 and then fix up my PATH to include /home/jleffler/perl/v5.008002/bin/perl. This automatically locates the software I add under the base directory. I'd adopt a variant of this even if I had to administer multiple similar machines (which I don't); installing the software for Perl 5.8.2 in some appropriate common directory, and if necessary leave links from /usr/local/bin or some other location pointing to the current version of Perl.
...I see DL Redden has come up with a slightly different diagnosis of your problem. And he might well be right. Your Perl binary was originally built on HP-UX 10.20, and isn't PA-RISC1.1 a 32-bit version? In which case, you do have a 32-bit to 64-bit problem. I'd recommend recompiling Perl (5.8.2) on the 64-bit HP-UX 11.11 platform, and proceeding from there. If you want to continue with 32-bit Perl, then you need a 32-bit version of ESQL/C. I'm not sure whether you need CSDK 2.70.HC1 or 2.70.UC1 - but it is one of those two. Or a more recent version of CSDK...
