Re: Regex problem building perl on IBM AIX

I'm building perl on hateful AIX on a daily basis in both 32bit and 64bit mode and for both threaded (yuck) and unthreaded. What version of AIX and what version of xlc are your running?

$ oslevel
5.3.0.0
$ oslevel -r
5300-09
$ lslpp -l xlC.rte
  Fileset                      Level  State      Description
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
  xlC.rte                   11.1.0.1  COMMITTED  XL C/C++ Runtime
$
[download]

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

It might very well be a bug in your preprocessor or compiler: `$ oslevel 5.2.0.0 $ oslevel -r 5200-04 $ lslpp -l xlC.rte Fileset Level State Description -------------------------------------------------------------------- +-------- Path: /usr/lib/objrepos xlC.rte 9.0.0.9 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime $` [download] From the file README.aix (`perldoc paerlaix`), it says: `At the moment of writing, AIX supports two different native C compiler +s, for which you have to pay: B<xlC> and B<vac>. If you decide to use eit +her of these two (which is quite a lot easier than using gcc), be sure to upgrade to the latest available patch level. Currently: xlC.C 3.1.4.10 or 3.6.6.0 or 4.0.2.2 or 5.0.2.9 or 6.0.0.3 vac.C 4.4.0.3 or 5.0.2.6 or 6.0.0.1` [download] Which is already rather outdated now, but most likely 6.0.0.0 is insufficient and you should up to at least 6.0.0.3.
