I had some problem installing DBD::Informix on a particular HPUX 11.31 host, though it worked on other supposedly identical machines. I would document the solution for the archives/google:
The driver builds, but most tests fail. The error message is interesting, the linker is complaining about missing symbol db_print. Sure enough: working host# nm blib/arch/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix.so | grep db_print (no output) broken host# nm blib/arch/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix.so | grep db_print [394] | 0| 0|FUNC |GLOB |0| UNDEF|db_print But, earlier in the log was a single error about: warning 922: "-Ae" is unsupported in the bundled compiler And that was the clue- HPUX ships with a brain-dead compiler, and the 'Ansi C Compiler' is an extra cost option. aCC was installed on this machine, but the /usr/bin/cc symlink still pointed at the bundled compiler. Once I fixed that and recompiled, DBD::Informix worked. allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
