Hello Everybody..

I have problem regarding perl module installation.

I had downloaded a perl module from CPAN,while installation MakeFile.PL goes fine, but "make" creates problem, it reports me error about saying that "/usr/ucb/cc- Language optional software package not installed" , however i have gcc installed in my system(Solaris), Now i modified the environment to use gcc instead of cc, but again it reports error, something like below..

cp t1.pl blib/lib/Acme/t1.pl

I guess the command line switches supported by "cc" is not supported by "gcc",Please provide any solution...I dont want to install "cc",

I guess without installation also, One can use the perl module, by putting the module file in the same directory. This works for me, except one module "Acme::Damn", in which it says, can not found loadable for "Acme::Damn".... Please have some look into the matter and provide solution...as i can not move with my project without it..

I also tried it to install from CPAN prompt, but that reports me

Hi Ajeet,

Now i modified the environment to use gcc instead of cc, but again it reports error, something like below..

ucbcc: unrecognized option `-Xs'

You may have gcc installed, but obviously, this is not the version
that the makefile sees first.
So, you $PATH may not be wrong.

There is something weird in this output, and it is that I guess
backslashes have been used instead of forward ones.

I.e. I guess the compiler above is to be found in some relative ucb/cc
path (in fact, there should be a 'bin' somewhere).
The 'ucbcc' result looks like an intemediate 'ucb\cc' was being evaluated.
All this is quite utterly wrong...
One of your tool thought it was running on Windows?

However, "unrecognized option `-Xs'" is a sensible thing for a ucb/cc to say...
So that the (wrong but still) compiler was found.
Something else munged the output afterwards?!

Try to narrow your problem down. Can you compile a hello.c?

[Ajeet Kumar]

Thanks Marc for your reply...yeah Hello.c is working on my system.. I check all of my utility and all of them are working fine, except of that "cc", Is there any binary distributions of perl CPAN modules, I need to install forks.pm and it demands Acme::Damn and Sys::SigAction. However I managed to install SigAction.pm by putting it in same directory where my program resides, but Acme::Damn is creating problem,saying that it can not find the loadable object...

I am seriously screwed up, by installing of this perl module. I can not re-install perl, because this is not my personal system, System is a Solaris Server and belongs to organization and they can not allow me to re-install perl. Also CPAN does not seem to work, says that unable to resolve host name for ftp, just feeling helpless with this issue...

Any any pointer most welcome....

Hi,

OK building with gcc.
But I see that I missed the obvious.
perl will use the same compiler as was used to build it, and from a
config.pm (or similar) file saved at installation time.

Post by Ajeet Kumar

I have always built perl myself, and shared the result, via a ClearCase vob.
So, I don't know what would happen if you managed to get libraries
which would be built with different compilers.
They would anyway have to be link compatible, since the existing perl
will load them.
You may try first to install a minimal module set locally.
There are flags to use with 'perl Makefile.PL', and a PERL5xxx
environment variable to set.
You'll find the details in the man pages/pods.

That's likely to be a matter of proxy settings.
Again, I don't remember the details from the top of my head...
