Hello Roberto, as far as we know, there is no 64-bit Perl for this platform, only 32-bit, but we don't supply 32-bit libraries or interfaces for this platform. __powerpc__ is an indicator that your Perl wants to build the extension in 32-bit, __powerpc64__ is the intrinsic define in 64-bit mode.
Sorry, but I don't think there will be a solution for your problem, as 32-bit Linux PPC is not supported. (If you manage to build a 64-bit Perl on this platform, we would be glad to hear about this.)

I've done a couple of quick ugly changes (one, changing that .h file to recognise __powerpc__, the other changing the Makefile generated by "perl Makefile.PL", so it doesn't use the "-m32" flag but "-m64"). When I do that, make complains then of libSQLDBC_C.so being an incompatible library: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /opt/sdb/programs/lib/libSQLDBC_C.so when searching for -lSQLDBC_C /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSQLDBC_C Actually, it might be incompatible, because it reports its type as "cisco 7500" when I do a "file": /opt/sdb/programs/lib/libSQLDBC_C.so: ELF 64-bit MSB shared object, cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped Any idea what can be going wrong? If you think I'm missing some modules to be installed, I'd thank you to tell me as well.
