Re: Expat.o missing error on solaris 10 (gcc)

, 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

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]

Here is the output when i use gcc ... Did you start with a fresh directory of XML-Parser? This seems wrong `gcc: language arch=v8 not recognized` In the OP you had similar cc: unrecognized option `-KPIC' If you use the same compiler to build perl and the extra modules, you won't have to guess at what the correct compiler options should be If you search for it gcc: language arch=v8 not recognized you 'll find says something about include paths Problems installing DBD::mysql on Solaris 8 - Page 1 says recompile perl Problem compiling DBD::Informix in Solaris10/SPARC I recommend to recompile perl While its quite possible to do it the other way -- you'll have to learn more than you ever wanted to know :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
