Hi Admins,
Here's my question about Perl warned you about.
When attempting to install an new(er) version of Perl, I found the
following problem
The Perl 5.6.1 version HP supplies is built using the GNU C compiler and is
"threaded". Perl threads seem to be buggy (fixed in 5.8?) and when I tried
to install the DBI (database interface module) I got a warning stating that
threads aren't to be used on production systems.
Perl 5.6.1 from the HP-UX Software and Porting Archive is built using the
HP ANSI C compiler ans is "unthreaded" so I replaced the HP version.
I've installed some extra modules, including DBI, without any problems, but
when I want to add the DBD::Ingres module I get the following error:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
isinf (code)
*** Error exit code 1
FIY, this is on HP-UX 11.11, Perl 5.1.6, DBI 1.30, DBD::Ingres 0.34
As I'm not a C programmer (and don't want to become one :-) I'm stuck.
I've found that "isinf" is a macro defined in math.h which should be
included in the source and that the math library should be specified when
linking. As far as I can see the library is specified ( -lm on the
commandline) and I can't find any reference to "isinf" or math.h in the
sourcecode.
An extended search on the net for a solution turned up zilch.
Any ideas?
The current Perl version (Perl 5.004, DBI 1.06, DBD::Ingres 0.16) works OK.
Maybe I could try these versions?
TIA,
Paul
