Re: [Arsperl-users] Compiling ARSPerl-1.91 on RHEL 64bit

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

This is what I wrote some months ago to someone else (Geoffrey Endresen)
who appeared to have the same problem:

----------------------

I don't have any experience with 64 bit systems so I can only take a
guess here. To me, the situation looks as follows:

The Remedy API libraries are 32 bit, so ARSperl has to be compiled with
-m32.

Your Perl interpreter is 64 bit, so ARSperl would also have to be
compiled as 64 bit, which of course collides with the condition above.

A possible solution might be to compile a Perl interpreter with -m32 and
use that one for ARSperl.

----------------------

He replied that he would try that, but I don't know if he was successful.

Thilo
