Hi I have already the file, README.hpux, and it does not appear address this problem.
I have come to realise that the supplied Perl doesn't support threads and, as you have suggested, needs rebuilding. The annoying aspect this I have two servers running Oracle 9.2.0.5, running latest versions of HP-UX 11i. The Itanium one works fine, teh PA-RISC not. It seems that different configure options are used to make Perl for the two releases. Finally, I'll try an old release of gcc, the one used to make Perl (by HP) and see if that addresses issue, if not I'll have to make perl. Thanks for the advise Simon ps I have never had this problem with Sun or Linux On Friday 17 December 2004 20:35, Lincoln A.
