Dear, >Its usually a pain to get things to compile cleanly on AIX. Yes, very hard, a nightmare.
I finally got some success: - perl-5.12.3 with thread is compiled: OK - DBI-1.616 compiled: OK - DBI::mysql-4.018 compiled but fail one test. I will look to the cpan testers site, but I am not able to promise to contribute right now. The guy who code in perl left and leave me with the problem. I am in the rush to migrate this application before 1st march (in fact, the whole server). I am able to send the build log (make + make test) to someone who can feed the cpan testers site for me and I will promise to use our dev server to conduct some tests in the future, if you need. We run aix 6.1 Regards, Yves Pour : Tim Bunce <tim.bu...@pobox.com> cc : <dbi-users@perl.org>, Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leff...@gmail.com>, <yves.gue...@muhc.mcgill.ca> Objet : Re: Réf. : Re: compile dbi in aix with gcc Anecdotally we have used DBI versions 1.5.1 on AIX 5.3 with perl 5.8.8 and DBI 1.6.1.5 on AIX 6.1 with perl 5.12.2. All were (read: had to be) compiled with gcc so I know its possible. We're also using DBD::Oracle and DBD::Mysql as well with both of those combinations successfully. Its usually a pain to get things to compile cleanly on AIX. I took a look at CPAN testers and I'll see if its possible for me and my servers to join and send in some AIX reports. No promises though.

Thanks. The last test report for the DBI on AIX was from version 1.609 over a year ago: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=DBI%201.616;maxver=1 I would *strongly urge* anyone using less common platforms, including AIX, to join http://www.cpantesters.org/ and contribute test reports.
