Re: dbd::oracle compile problem

Your Solaris-shipped Perl was likely compiled with forte, Sun's compiler. You've likely installed gcc to attempt to install your module. gcc can't compile against that Perl. At least not without some elbow grease.

There are some compiler flags (CCFLAGS) you can use as a workaround, -fPIC (instead of -KPIC) - check your Makefile. Also be sure to google around for this. I used to have this kind of stuff posted on a wiki at my last job because I ran into it frequently. There are some other things you'll have to look out for, thankfully plenty of people have googlable resolutions to issues like yours - search for something like "perl solaris gcc".

Another option is to recompile your Perl with gcc.

Update: You can also ask your company to purchase Sun's compiler tools.

No it didn't worked for -fPIC either, it doesn't even recognise this -fPIC option at all.	[reply]

Ok, what compiler was your perl built under? (This can be found out with perl -V). I see "cc" as the compiler you're trying to use for dbd::oracle - what compiler is that? Exactly what is the "it" that doesn't recognize -fPIC? Where'd you put that flag? Did you check your Makefile? Did you google around for the problem with the hints I've given you? --chargrill `$,=42;for(34,0,-3,9,-11,11,-17,7,-5){$.=pack'c'=>$,+=$_}for(reverse s +plit//=>$ ){$%++?$ %%2?push@C,$_,$":push@c,$_,$":(push@C,$_,$")&&push@c,$"}$C[$# +C]=$/;($#C >$#c)?($ c=\@C)&&($ C=\@c):($ c=\@c)&&($C=\@C);$%=$\|;for(@$c){print$_^ +$$C[$%++]}` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
