I am having problems installing Perl 5.6.0 on AIX 4.2.1 using AIX's XL C Compiler 1.03.044. Everything seems to work OK up until "make test." 45 out of the 188 tests failed during make test. 42 of the failed tests had a common denominator in their error messages: "Can't load `whatever.so` for module `whatever:` readExports: bad magic at ../lib/XSLoader.pm line 73." 2 of the failed tests had similar error messages but referenced DynaLoader.pm rather than XSLoader.pm. 1 failed test (for lib/ops) simply said "FAILED test 1." I originally ran Configure with the defaults (sh Configure -de) but after getting all the make test errors I completely started over and ran Configure interactively. Since I'm not a C programmer, I didn't significantly alter the configuration the 2nd time around, and got the same 45 failed tests. My configuration (i.e. myconfig) can be seen at http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/perl/myconfig.txt I thoroughly read the INSTALL and TEST files and am out of ideas. This is not my first Perl install, as I have installed/compiled Perl 5.005_02 on Solaris 2.6 Sparc and Perl 5.005_03 on Solaris 7 x86. For detailed transcripts of my install attempt, see: http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/perl/config.txt http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/perl/make.txt http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/perl/make_test.txt http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/perl/perl_harness.txt http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/perl/test.txt Thanks for any help or suggestions you can give me! -- Michael Doran Systems Librarian # Michael Doran, Systems Librarian # University of Texas at Arlington # Ph: 817-272-5326 Fax: 817-272-7022 # doran@uta.edu # http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/Thread Next
