Hi, I'm new to this list. I looked over the various Perl mailing lists and decided on this one although my problem isn't directly related to DBI. But the reason I'm trying to compile Perl from source as 64 bit is to use the DBI module and DBD:Oracle (and if I ever can get Perl to Build I'll probably need help with the DBI!). I am trying to build a 64 bit Perl from source on my home directory (as non root) on Solaris 10. I downloaded the most current stable version of Perl 5.8.8 from CPAN. I'm using the Solaris gcc compiler in /usr/local/bin/gcc which is version 3.4.6. I get through the Configure step OK but fail when trying to run make. The tail of the output is listed below. I have searched the internet for others with this problem but have not been able to find a solution. I have read the README file for Solaris, the INSTALL notes and have looked through the hints script. I am not a sysadmin so my options are limited - I cannot install a different gcc compiler or make any changes to the system directories. My objective is to have my own version of Perl so I can add the DBI and DBD::ORACLE modules. I am running Configure this way. I am taking all the defaults except I remove directory /usr/lib as mentioned in the Solaris README notes. sh ./Configure -Dprefix=/home/fred/perl_5.8.8 -Dcc=gcc -Duse64bitall -Aldflags="-mcpu=v9 -m64" -Alddlflags="-mcpu=v9 -m64 -G" This is my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u sr/share/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib32 PATH /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/op enwin/bin:/etc:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/ucb This is the error from make: CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -mcpu=v9 -m64 -Wa,-xarch=v9 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -Wdeclaration-after-statement -I/usr/ll gcc -m64 -mcpu=v9 -m64 -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl \ miniperlmain.o opmini.o libperl.a Undefined first referenced symbol in file cos libperl.a(pp.o) exp libperl.a(pp.o) log libperl.a(pp.o) pow libperl.a(pp.o) sin libperl.a(pp.o) ceil libperl.a(pp.o) fmod libperl.a(pp.o) sqrt libperl.a(pp.o) atan2 libperl.a(pp.o) floor libperl.a(pp.o) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to miniperl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [miniperl] Error 1 These are some of the things I have tried so far to fix this: 1. From the INSTALL notes I found reference to the Missing Undefined Symbols problem. So I did a make distclean and started over. When config offered an opportunity to edit config.sh I went in and saw that libs variable was empty. I changed it to be libs='-lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -lc'. That didn't work - same make error. 2. So I tried another suggestion from the INSTALL notes and tried not using nm extraction with the -Uusenm option for configure. I started over again with distclean but that didn't work either. 3. So I'm really stuck - I've tried many other things - mainly playing around with directory paths when prompted running Configure, in config.sh, and in PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH - adding the sparv9 directories... anything I could think of - but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been struggling with this problem for several days and cannot get past the make problem. Somehow it's not finding the math library - or it's getting confused between 32bit and 64bit libraries - but I don't know how to fix it. Cheers! Fred
