Compiling Net::SSH::Perl

LinuxUser2008 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks
I am trying to compile Net::SSH::Perl 1.34.. I compiled it, but when i run a script to SSH using Net:SSH::Perl, i get the following error

So, i tried installing Math-GMP, but before that i needed the GMP-libraries.. So, i did an installation of the GMP libraries(gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2).. This gave no issues or errors, but when i tried installing Math-GMP(Math-GMP-2.06.tar.gz), it gives me an 'wrong ELF class' error...

make 
gcc -c    -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -Wdeclaration-after-statement -I/
+usr/local/include -I/opt/gnu/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFS

I read in some forums that this is caused due to 32/64 bit compatibility, but dont know how to resolve this..

Can somebody help me out?? Is there any other way to install the Net::SSH::Perl module or any other Perl module to do SSH(which has a hassle free installation)

Regards,
Blub:)

PS:-All this is done in Sun Solaris, Perl 5.8.8 and gcc 3.4.6

Is there any other way to install the Net::SSH::Perl module or any other Perl module to do SSH Try Net::OpenSSH, it requires a recent version of the OpenSSH client (that you can get from Sun Freeware) and, if you plan to use password authentication, Expect. Net::SSH2 is another option.	[reply]

if you plan to use password authentication, Does this mean that Password authentication is not supported in Net::OpenSSH??	[reply]
Re^3: Compiling Net::SSH::Perl by salva (Canon) on Jun 07, 2010 at 09:54 UTC
Password authentication is supported by Net::OpenSSH, it's just that it uses Expect (well, actually IO::Pty) for supporting it.	[reply]

Is there a particular reason why you didn't use gmp-5.0.1? I would try reinstalling it, but do a native compilation to avoid a wrong ELF. For example: `./configure --build=ultrasparc-sun-solaris2.7` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
Re^2: Compiling Net::SSH::Perl by LinuxUser2008 (Acolyte) on Jun 07, 2010 at 08:38 UTC
Well, as 5.0.1 is the latest version, i figured, would have many bugs? silly me Anyway, will try that out now, thanks, Khen1950 Regards, Blub:)	[reply]

you have set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (e.g export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="64/32 bit lib path).	[reply]
