Expat.o missing error on solaris 10

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

Hi, I am trying to install XML-Parser module on solaris 10 box. While running the make command, i am getting this error that Expat.o is not available, though i have expat installed on this box. I had installed this earlier on solaris 9 box, and it installed successfully. Please let me know if you had encountered similar issue, and what step was taken to address it.

, i am getting this error that Expat.o is not available One has nothing to do with the other Expat.o is a file that should be generated when you run `make` so that auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so can be generated Your problem will probably go away if you start using gcc To quote Re: DBD::mysql on Solaris 10 5.10.1 isn't exactly new, try a newer one :) Which compiler are you using? `$ perl -V:cc cc='gcc';` [download] I suggest you get perl-5.14.2 and compile it using gcc , install it privately (do not install over system perl), then try installing mysql These might be of interest: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/SolarisInstallCookbookPerlModules http://search.cpan.org/~aburlison/Solaris-PerlGcc-1.3/pod/perlgcc.pod Setting up perlbrew for Linux and Solaris Compile Error for Sun Solaris 10 module IO Problem Compiling under Solaris using DBI and DBD::DB2	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I am using 5.8.4. Unfortunately i cannot upgrade it at this point. I updated the Makefile to point to gcc instead of cc. I am getting the same error. Is there any other work around? This is perl, v5.8.4 built for sun4-solaris-64int (with 37 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)	[reply]
