Re: ARSPerl Install Problem - 7.6 Linux Server

2012-05-21 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

You might want to direct this to the arsperl-list instead: http://arsperl.org

I for one use ARSPerl from time to time. It is always complicated to get
it working...

I have recently used a 32-bit perl on Solaris 64, where I used DBD::Oracle
against 32-bit libs. Having your 32-bit perl work with 32-bit oracle does
not mean that your whole system needs to use the 32-bit libs, right?

I really hope that BMC will keep the C-API going fore some time yet. If no
new data types are introduced, I guess the old C-API will be useful for a
long time.

 Ok here is the problem, we are trying to upgrade to 7.6 Linux 64bit
 system, the ARsperl 1.91  1.93 versions. I tried to install the
 ActiveState 32bit binary for my system and the ARSperl installed, but then
 my DBI and DBD:Oracle failed, with the classic message about my 32BIT
 libs, I can't use a 32bit Oracle client as its required by Remedy to have
 a 64bit client (I am guessing other modules will be messed up too).

 So then I tried a 64bit compile of perl in which all my modules that I
 need for scripts are fine but then ARSperl wont install with either the
 -m32 flags or trying to do a 64bit install.

 It baffles me that others are not having this issue, and that there is not
 a 64bit ARSPerl out there yet, considering 64bit servers have been out for
 awhile. Is it true that BMC is not going to update there C-Libs after this
 release and that ARSPerl is essentially dead and this is why there is not
 a version out yet? We have over 250 scripts on our server mixed in with
 workflow. Ok, enough complaining.

 I haven't been able to compile a 32bit perl as of yet, but my only last
 thought is back in the HPUX days I would have to static compile a few
 modules while compiling Perl. But I have no idea the lib flags and
 everything I would need to pass it in order.

 Please help!
