Inline-Java on AIX

relax99 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,

Have any of you had experience installing Inline::Java on AIX? I got as far as 'make test'... with most of the tests failing.

I would really appreciate it if you make a guess about what could have gone wrong based on the following output from 'make test':

/home/user/perl/Inline-Java-0.49>make test

Re: Inline-Java on AIX by inman (Curate) on Oct 05, 2004 at 08:27 UTC
I notice that you are using Java 1.3.1 as supplied with your Websphere installation. Try a more up to date JDK from Sun (e.g. 1.4.1). This can be installed in a separate directory and you can build your Inline::Java against that. Since Perl is going to be running your Java apps, you can use a different JDK to the version being used by Websphere. I can't really test this since I don't have AIX but it could be worth a try.

Yeah, I thought about doing this too. I guess it sounds like the next logical step to take.	[reply]
