Back in the days (6 years back) when I used HP-UX, you could download a
binary of gcc from the Liverpool University archive.

Well, is it?  Do you have a libperl.sl, or just libperl.a?

Personally I have no problem with plperl on HPUX 10.20, but I build Perl
from source so that I can tell its configure script to build a shared
library.  Last time I did that, which was perl 5.8.0, shared library was
still *not* the default choice.  I have no idea what the Porting Center
chose for their build, but you should easily be able to tell from the
installed filename.

PL/Perl on HPUX

When I run './configure --with-perl' for 7.3.1 on an HPUX 11.0 system I 
get the error about it not being able to build PL/Perl because libperl 
is not a shared library, as mentioned in the installation docs.  In my 
case, I installed perl 5.8 using the package from the HP Porting & 
Archive Center.  The doc for 7.3.1 suggests that libperl IS a shared 
library for most 'recent perl versions', so it seems like it should 
work.  But it doesn't.  Is there a way around this?  I checked the mail 
archives and it looks like there's been some discussion of this, but no 
clear answers (to me anyway).

Regards,

Re: PL/Perl on HPUX

Sorry, forgot that little detail: I have libperl.a.  I got the perl 
source, but in order to build in support for files >2GB, one must use 
HP's ansi c compiler, which I don't have on this box.  It can be done 
with gcc, but gcc has to have been built using HP's ansi c compiler not 
the built-in k&r compiler, so either way I need the ansi c compiler. Sigh.

Re: PL/Perl on HPUX

Thanks, David, for the link to gcc-64.  I got the 64-bit gcc from 
sunsite but, after bunzipping it, I untar it, and after a couple hundred 
files are untarred, I get a 'directory checksum error'.  Does this mean 
my tar file is corrupted?  Or something else?

I really don't know much about hp-ux, I'm  much more familiar with 
solaris and a few other unix's.
I can give you few suggestions though, based on what I would do in this 
situtation.
It does sound like the tar file is corrupted. make sure , if youre using 
ftp to download it, use binary mode and possibly passive ftp.
Try downloading the gcc package from hp (they have a few different 
versions and install instructions) 
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,547,00.html


Actually I think from hp's site you get the package in .depot format, 
which means you may not have to untar anything...

Hope this helps. good luck.
