Installing sybperl

[gringomike]

Hi all!

Has anybody installed "sybperl" on Solaris 8 before? I'm having difficulty compiling the program. Whenever I run "make" I am returned the following errors relating to "CTlib.o not found" and "cc: language depend not recognized". I am using gcc with cc linking into it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have no idea what Sybperl is, but I googled and found that you probably need to install gcc on your Solaris machine from

http://www.sunfreeware.com/.

Not sure if this will help, but I had problems installing a module on Sol 8 box. I edited the Makefile and took out the -KPIC and it installed fine after that.

Thanks for the replies!

nix45 - I've done this already. I downloaded gcc in package format from

http://www.sunfreeware.com

and installed it without a problem.

bluedragon2 - There is no reference to KPIC in the Makefile at all All the same, tt sounds like you could be thinking along the right lines.

I discovered yesterday that CTlib.o could be a C library. If this is the case it may be that my compiler isn't installed properly.

Does anybody know if a compiler comes with the Solaris 8 media? It would make sense to try using a different compiler to install sybperl if my existing compiler may be the problem.

Thanks again!
