Re^2: Installing Net::SSH::Perl - problems with Math::Pari

Still no joy.

I've installed Perl 5.8.8 built with gcc 3.4.2 on the box I'm trying to build Math::Pari on.

I've tried to hide the GNU ld and as (use ccs versions) and visa versa.

libpari-2.1.7 won't work at all, the beta 2.2.n does compile the library but fails to build Math::Pari. I get errors in Pari.xs

function installep - initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
function my_gpui - prec undeclared
function setprecision = prec undeclared
function fillargvect = prec undeclared
function XS_Math__Pari_interface?? = prec undeclared (replace ?? with digits)
INIT_JMP_off undeclared
INIT_SIG_off undeclared
pari_modules undeclared
helpmessages_highlevel undeclared

Haven't built Math::Pari for a while - last time I did build it I had good results following the instructions for the "manual procedure" that you'll find in the INSTALL file in the Math::Pari source tarball. (This way you don't have to actually build libpari.) I didn't run './Configure' as mentioned in step b), and I didn't bother with 'make test' as mentioned in step c). Have you tried that approach ? If so, at which step did you strike trouble ? Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Sort of success. I finally got a build/test/install to work by using the portable code `$ perl Makefile.PL machine=port` [download] Obviously this is not ideal. If I follow the manual instructions then I get (note this is different from the initial problem as that used pari 2.2) First I need to edit the code that FTP's pari libs as I can't use exte +rnal ftp. All I did was point at localhost and put the archive in a +known place. $ perl Makefile.PL ... gets the code (2.1.7) and patches it. id's my machine as sparcv9 so sets build to sparcv8-micro ... $ make ... (compiling gen1.c) ./pariinl.h: In function `gmul': ./pariinl.h:887: error: asm-specifier for variable `hiremainder' confl +icts with asm clobber list ... [download] Now if I try to config and build libpari separately. $ make gp ... (compiling mp.c) ../src/kernel/none/mp.c: In function `addrr': ../src/kernel/none/mp.c:598: error: asm-specifier for variable `overfl +ow' conflicts with asm clobber list ../src/kernel/none/mp.c:634: confused by earlier errors, bailing out ... [download] I get the same errors if I manually get pari, unpack it to a sibling of the Math::Pari build area, Configure libpari then try to make Math::Pari.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I agree that the portable C build is less than ideal - but does it create a significant performance hit wrt the way it's being used by Net::SSH::Perl ? The "manual procedure" still works fine for me with pari-2.1.7 and Math::Pari-2.010703 on both Win32 and Linux - but that's on an ix86 architecture. Check out http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Math-Pari and see if there's anything there that helps. In particular, click on the link to bug 12324. Seems that someone made some progress on sparcv9 with the previous version of Math::Pari. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
