Hello, I was wondering if you could advise on the case to follow.
I am trying to install a number of CPAN modules on a Solaris 9 server uxkcdv01:/ # uname -a SunOS uxkcdv01 5.9 Generic_112233-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 When I am running "make test" for the URI-1.06 CPAN module, the error is returned make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test_dynamic' Here is the entire output: uxkcdv01:/tmp/CPAN/URI-1.06 # perl Makefile.PL Writing Makefile for URI uxkcdv01:/tmp/CPAN/URI-1.06 # make Manifying blib/man3/URI::Escape.3 Manifying blib/man3/URI.3 Manifying blib/man3/URI::WithBase.3 Manifying blib/man3/URI::data.3 Manifying blib/man3/URI::file.3 Manifying blib/man3/URI::ldap.3 Manifying blib/man3/URI::URL.3 Manifying blib/man3/URI::Heuristic.3 uxkcdv01:/tmp/CPAN/URI-1.06 # make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/support/sunone/ve/perl5/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/opt/support/sunone/ve/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris -I/opt/support/sunone/ve/perl5/5.6.1 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t t/abs...............ok t/data..............ok t/file..............ok t/generic...........ok t/heuristic.........FAILED test 7 Failed 1/14 tests, 92.86% okay t/http..............ok t/ldap..............ok t/mailto............ok t/mix...............ok t/news..............ok t/old-absconf.......ok t/old-base..........ok t/old-relbase.......ok t/pop...............ok t/roy-test..........ok t/rsync.............ok Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t/heuristic.t 14 1 7.14% 7 Failed 1/16 test scripts, 93.75% okay. 1/316 subtests failed, 99.68% okay. *** Error code 29 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test_dynamic' uxkcdv01:/tmp/CPAN/URI-1.06 # I found a couple of docs on the web that describe a similar case. Here are two examples: http://www.talkaboutprogramming.com/group/comp.lang.perl.modules/messages/63939.html http://www.icdevgroup.org/archive/interchange-users/2002/msg11979.html They suggest either to install the latest version of URI or just ignore the error. We would prefer not to change the version of URI since we are trying to mirror an existing environment (running Solaris 8) where URI-1.06 is installed. How critical is the error above? Is URI-1.06 compatible with Solaris 9? Any help would be appreciated.
