Re^2: Problems installing DateTime module ...

Dear Anonymous Monk:

Thank you for your advice. On the compiler issue, here is what I got doing your tests:

matrix01 51# perl -V:cc
cc='cc';
matrix01 52# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

I tried installing Params::Validate but I wind up with the same snag:

Do you possibly have any other ideas? Many thanks, Kevin Doty

Dear Anonymous Monk: After my last e-mail I was looking in ithis directory: /nas/rstor1/dotykg/PERLBREW/build/perl-5.8.9 in the “config.sh” file and it shows the following assignments: `cc='cc' cccdlflags='-fPIC' ccdlflags='-Wl,-E' ccflags='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_ +SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' ccflags_uselargefiles='-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' ccname='gcc'` [download] Should the variable “cc” be defined “gcc”? If so can I define it properly and do a reconfigure/reinstall? Many thanks, Kevin Doty	[reply] [d/l]

Dear Anonymous Monk: My system uses the environment modules system: http://modules.sourceforge.net/ In my .cshrc file I was loading several modules. When I removed all module loads and re-installed Perl 5.8.9 I was successful installing the DateTime module. I had several modules loaded (including Portland compiler, MPICH2, HDF, NETCDF, and IDL). - hard to say which one was the culprit. Many thanks, Kevin Doty	[reply]
