Re: [tbox-l] Compiling PERL modules

[Hurt, R. <Ric...@yu...>]

Yes, Perl is notoriously finicky about it's modules being built with the
same compiler.  I ran into this problem 6 months ago and eventually had
to compile Perl myself using GCC.  It wasn't fun, but at least I have a
Perl that works now.  :/ =20

You might also get a precompiled Perl install from the Bull site
(http://www.bullfreeware.com/) or the PDSL
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/).

Subject: [tbox-l] Compiling PERL modules



Because the PERL for AIX was compiled with the IBM C compiler, I've
found you really need to have it installed when compiling other modules.
Trying to use gcc just doesn't work.  In looking at other mailing lists
the requirement to compile modules with the same compiler as PERL was
compiled with seems to not be just an IBM AIX problem, but quite common.
