Hi, Having difficulty getting Xerces-perl installed successfully on HP-UX. I am using: gcc SWIG1.1p5 (no luck with SWIG1.3a5) I have "made it" through the perl Makefile.PL make ... also looks good .... except Xerces.bs is a zero length file. Here is what some make looks like: gcc -c -I. -INew_classes_perl -I/pbuild/brentnye/xerces/xerces-c1_3/incl ude -D_REENTRANT -DPOSIX_THREADS -DHAS_BOOL -DSWIG_1_1 -O -DVERSION=\"1.3.3\ " -DXS_VERSION=\"1.3.3\" -fpic -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/PA-RISC1.1/CORE Xerces.C Running Mkbootstrap for XML::Xerces () chmod 644 Xerces.bs LD_RUN_PATH="/pbuild/brentnye/xerces/xerces-c1_3/lib:/lib" ld -o blib/ar ch/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.sl -b -L/usr/local/lib Xerces.o -L/pbuild/brentnye /xerces/xerces-c1_3/lib -lxerces-c1_3 -lpthread The first thing I noticed was that Xerces.bs was a zero length file, I am a perl rookie, but I says to my self ... that does not look good. Any clue why Xerces.bs is zero length? Now for "make test" (where it blows up): PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/contrib/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/lo cal/lib/perl5/5.00503/PA-RISC1.1 -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503 -e 'use Test::Ha rness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t t/DOMCreate........./usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: _vt$16StdInInputSource ( data) from blib/arch/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.sl /usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __ti12XMLException (data) from blib/arch/au to/XML/Xerces/Xerces.sl It gives me six quintillion statements about how it cannot find symbols from blib/arch/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.sl. Why is that, I ask you? Here is a modicum of output from chatr on /blib/arch/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.sl <-perliskillingmehelp-brentnye-> chatr Xerces.sl Xerces.sl: shared library shared library dynamic path search: SHLIB_PATH disabled second mbedded path disabled first Not Defined shared library list: dynamic /pbuild/brentnye/xerces/xerces-c1_3/lib/libxerces-c1_3.sl dynamic /usr/lib/libpthread.1 shared vtable support disabled I have tried a few permutations with Xerces-c1_4, but I keep getting same results. What else can I try? What other information can I provide that could lead to a resolution of this problem?
