compilation problem when adding a module

[felipe200112]

This is generic to my machine. Maybe is it an initialisation problem...
Do you have an idea ??

Thanks in advance.

Generic? What do you mean?

Do you have an idea ??

The output below shows two problems that may well be independent from
each other. For the locale problem, unset the environment variable
LANG and try again.

I'm interested in finding out how to solve this as well. I'm trying to
compile Math::GMP and I can't get past this.

You need the gmp library. You can find a package for it (though maybe
not for Solaris 2.6) on www.sunfreeware.com .

Hi Mark,

I have the GMP lib.

I'm trying to build in ./Math-GMP-2.04

I don't know why 'perl Makefile.PL' can't find it tho.

I think you misunderstand. You need the gmp library, not the CPAN GMP
module. If you run

gcc -lgmp

You'll get probably get a "library not found error".

On my system:

bob 953 $ locate libgmp
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.a
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.la
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.so
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.3
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.3.3.2

bob 954 $ pkgchk -lp /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a
Pathname: /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a
Type: regular file
Expected mode: 0644
Expected owner: root
Expected group: bin
Expected file size (bytes): 2902116
Expected sum(1) of contents: 12280
Expected last modification: Mar 01 16:49:58 2004
Referenced by the following packages:
SMCgmp
Current status: installed

Look on www.sunfreeware.com for this package.

Note: CPAN modules sometimes have dependencies on external libraries,
eg DBD::mysql relies on the MySQL binary distribution, DBD::Oracle on
the Oracle client, XML::LibXML on libxml and so on.
