Unable to install Math::BigInt::GMP on Solaris 10

[sumitbee]

Hello Guru's:

Make fails on both version 1.18 and 1.19. I am trying to install this
to speed up Net::SSH:erl, since that is unbearably slow with the
pure perl libraries, or even Math::BigInt:ari, or
Math::BigInt::FastCalc. here is what I get when I run make:

Version 1.18 gives similar errors. Any suggestions/advice would be
much appreciated!

Make fails on both version 1.18 and 1.19.

Writing Makefile for Math::BigInt::GMP

Why does the creation of the makefile for Math::BigInt::GMP say that
not finding the gmp library is "probably harmless"? Seems like it
should be critical to me...

If you are on Win32, try herehttp://www.kalinabears.com.au/w32perl/math_gmp.html

Mark, DJ, Thank you for your comments. mark, Math::BigInt is
installed and tests succeed. I am on Solaris, and cannot seem to find
the GMP header files. From the Tel test results, it seems that v.
1.18 was the only one that passed tests on Solaris, but that is
failing for me as well. Has anyone been able to install this on
Solaris? Any other ideas as to how to speed up Net::SSH:erl?

Thanks again,
Sumit

JP, thanks for the update. I installed gmp-4.1.2, changed the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 and made sure the libgmp files were in /usr/local/
lib/sparcv9, but same problem.....

Try hacking at the XS file. Where it says:

#include "gmp.h"

Change that to:

#include "/usr/local/include/sparcv9/gmp.h" // if that's where gmp.h is
located

That should at least allow gmp.h to get found. Then it's just a matter of
making libgmp.a (or the gmp .so) findable.

Probably the simplest way to build it is to do it manually. Download the
M:::BI::GMP-1.19 source from CPAN, extract to some location, cd to that
location and run:

perl Makefile.PL INC="-I/usr/local/include/sparcv9"
LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib/sparcv9 -lgmp"
make test
make install

If you don't have a 'libgmp.a' then you should be able to link directly to
the libgmp-3.so (or whatever it's called) but you would need to change the
above command to properly reflect the name of the gmp .so file. Something
like:

perl Makefile.PL INC="-I/usr/local/include/sparcv9"
LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib/sparcv9 -lgmp-3"

All of this is, of course, untested.

Is there something there that works for you ? (You should at least be able
to eradicate the error about gmp.h being not found - assuming it really is
in /usr/local/include/sparcv9.)

Cheers,
Rob

Rob, thanks. I'll try it out on Monday and let you know.

Rob,

Changing the include to the full path to gmp.h in the xs file and
creating the makefile with the INC and LIB options as you suggested
worked. I am still getting errors on "make test" but thats a different
issue. Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks to all others that replied as well.

The solution, for anyone interested, was to install GNU make 3.81,
compile gmp-4.2 with this version of make, and then install
Math::BigInt::GMP pointing the lib and INC to the location of the
newly installed gmp-4.2.

It's good to know you got it to work, but I would suggest that this
post is going to be nearly useless to some future googler unless they
come across your OP first AND the thread remains intact. In the
future perhaps you could consider full-quoting your OP and posting the
solution below.

We've all Googled issues like this but, as I'm sure you know, all one
normally finds is other people with the same problem.
