Errors Building HTML::Parser on AIX
Sorry to drag the list off-topic, but I've a Perl question! I'm having trouble building HTML::Parser on an AIX box. It's the first time I've tried to build and install an XS module, so it's quite possible that it's a wider issue. The 'make' seems to go ok, but when I run 'make test' I get the same error for each test file: t/unbroken-text.Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so' for module HTML::Parser: dlopen: blib/arch/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/aix/DynaLoader.pm line 168. at t/unbroken-text.t line 2 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/unbroken-text.t line 2. dubious Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200) Running ls -l blib/arch/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so shows that the file exists and is readable. The build process seems to be using IBM's own C compiler rather than gcc. Does anyone have any clues about this?

that
it's a wider issue.
t/unbroken-text.Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so'
for
module HTML::Parser: dlopen: blib/arch/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so: A
file or
directory in the path name does not exist. at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/aix/DynaLoader.pm line 168.
Running ls -l blib/arch/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so shows that the file
exists and is readable.
What does file(1) tell you about that, and about a *working* loadable
module
somewhere in the perl distribution?
blib/arch/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so: executable (RISC System/6000) or
object module not stripped
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/aix/auto/POSIX/POSIX.so: executable (RISC
System/6000) or object module not stripped
The build process seems to be using IBM's own C compiler rather than
gcc.
Which compiler was used to build perl?
perl -MConfig -e'print map { "$_ : $Config{$_}\n" } keys %Config | egrep
'^cc'
cc : cc
cccdlflags :
ccdlflags : -bE:perl.exp
ccflags : -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=8192--
And which libraries did it use - IBM's, or GNU's?
Is that this?
glibpth : /usr/shlib /shlib /lib/pa1.1 /usr/lib/large /lib /usr/lib
/usr/lib/386 /lib/386 /lib/large /usr/lib/small /lib/small /usr/ccs/lib
/usr/ucblib /usr/local/lib
Or these?
lib_ext : .a
libc : /lib/libc.a
libperl : libperl.a
libpth : /lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib
libs : -lnsl -ldbm -ldl -lld -lm -lc -lcrypt -lbsd -lPW
libswanted : sfio socket inet nsl nm ndbm gdbm dbm db malloc dl dld ld sun m
c cposix posix ndir dir crypt ucb bsd BSD PW x
Should I be worried about the 'lib_ext : a' line or 'so : a' that I've also
seen?

Is AIX one of those OS that requires you to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or some equivalent to load a shared library - although this shouldnt be the case for the binary part of a module because dynaloader searches in a bunch of places relative to @INC ... Is it some other .so file that Parser.so uses ? What does ldd tell you ? /J\

my $h =
$parser-parse_file("/export/home/gharper/0,10225,1_1547_2168,00.htm");
This smells of the "V" word :-)
$h-traverse(\expand_urls, 1);
[snip]
The output I get from this is
Can't locate auto/HTML/Parser/traverse.al in @INC (@INC contains
the followinng paths SNIP)
the paths arse set up correctly and pointing at where I installed
the module, so I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas ?
I don't see any mention of a method "traverse" in the HTML::Parser manpage
for HTML::Parser::VERSION == 3.15, nor in my version of the lwpcook page.
Maybe you got a wrong example from somewhere?
Cheers,
Philip
