in reply to Re: Graph 0.69 on AIX
in thread Graph 0.69 on AIX

Ahh, thanks that does seem to set me on the right path. Wnen I try an install of List::Util I get:

t/weak..........skipped
        all skipped: weaken requires XS version

[download]

The full install log is below, but I'm not sure why I'm not installing the xs version -- the README and perldocs didn't suggest how to do so, and in Makefile.PL I only saw a reference to can_cc(), which I couldn't find any documentation on? Any more guidance on where I could go looking?

Incidentally, for some silly reason its never occurred to me to look at the *code* that was giving the error, but that'll be a useful thing for debugging installs -- thanks!

    The can_cc() routine referenced in the Makefile.PL refers to the included Module::Install::Can (a private helper module). For some reason this fails for you, which is why the XS version wasn't built. You might try building the package as 
    perl Makefile.PL -xs

    [download]
    which should override the setting returned by can_cc().

[d/l]

      Many thanks for your continued help.

      Running with the -xs flag I still get the same result during tests:

      t/weak..........skipped
        all skipped: weaken requires XS version

      [download]

      I looked at the code for Module::Install:Can, and the guts involve $Config::Config{cc} so I did check:

      $ perl -MConfig -e 'print $Config::Config{cc}'
gcc

      [download]

      Which I guess isn't surprising since I haven't had troubles building other xs-based modules. The check in weak.t looks at @Scalar::Util::EXPORT_FAIL, and it does look like the code being executed is in: perl5.8.7/lib/5.8.7/Scalar/Util.pm.

      So after that I'm still not quite sure what's going on. In the make output I see:

      gcc -c   -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -DUSE_NATIVE_D
+LOPEN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGE_FILES

        \

chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/List/Util/Util.so
cp Util.bs blib/arch/auto/List/Util/Util.bs
chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/List/Util/Util.bs

      [download]

      and during make install I get:

      Installing /db2blast/Paul/perl5.8.7/lib/5.8.7/aix/auto/List/Util/Util.

      Which I had thought indicates successful building of the xs code. I also tried uninstalling with:

      cpan> o conf make_install_arg UNINST=1
    make_install_arg   [UNINST=1]

cpan> force install Scalar::Util

      [download]

      Which led to the same result. Might you have any other ideas of what I could try or where I could look?

        From the dialogues that you reported, it looks like the xs version of the package got built and installed OK. I'm not sure why the t/weak.t test still reported that the xs version was needed - perhaps a make distclean is needed before rerunning perl Makefile.PL. In any case, does this fix the original problem with the Graph module?
