Re: [Arsperl-users] Compiling ARS perl on AIX

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

I'm no AIX expert, but according to Google, "xdr_sizeof" and 
"__rpc_createerr" are symbols from libnsl.

So the first thing I would try is to append "-lnsl" to the $ARS_LIBS 
variable in Makefile.PL. This was included for earlier versions of the 
ARS API (see the "if ($ARSVERSION >= ...)" blocks in Makefile.PL), but 
has been removed for version >= 6.3 (I don't know why).

The next step would be to verify if there is a libnsl.a installed on 
your system and if ld is able to find it.


Regards,
Thilo
