I haven't used Embperl on AIX (or any platform for that matter), but I am unfortunatly
using AIX at work. :-(
AIX's C compiler is as buggy as a Florida chineese resturaunt. I couldn't even get
Apache to install right (it kept saying something to the effect of "Found
</Directory>, expected </Directory>"...Sheesh!) Anyhoo, I went to IBMs site,
downloaded the patches, and everything is happy again. I had to install somewhere
near 45-50 patches to make it current. One of these days, I'm going to install GCC
and be done with it.
Anyway, you may want to see if it has something to do with AIX's cc or libraries.

Subject: non-DSO mod_perl, Embperl, and AIX not working (duplicate ?)
Sorry if this is a duplicate. I sent the message yesterday, but I haven't
seen it posted back to me via the list. We have recently been having
problems with our email services...
---------------------------------------------------------------
I am using IBM's C complier (cc) under AIX 4.3.3 with Apache 1.3.12,
mod_perl 1.24 (statically linked, not DSO), perl 5.00503, and Embperl
1.3b3.
The "offline", "execute function", and "cgi mode" Embperl tests are
all successful. In the "mod_perl" mode, even the simple "ascii" test
fails. It fails with a seg. fault and a dbx stack trace that looks
like this:

To get Embperl.so to successfully build I added "-b erok" to
LDDLFLAGS. I also tried '-G' with similar results. Without the
modification to LDDLFLAGS I got several "unresolved symbol" errors.
I also get similar results with Embperl 1.2b9, Apache 1.3.9, and
mod_perl 1.23.
BTW, I did not personally compile my perl executable, it is straight
from a fileset on the AIX 4.3.3 CD. I have, however, upgraded
several modules to their most recent CPAN version. My 'perl -V'
output looks like this:
