Re: How to get Perl version for AIX using gcc compiler to avoid problems installing DBD::mysql without cc_r compiler?

I have experienced this same problem. Your choices are to buy a copy of XL C, use the XL C demo, or replace perl with a gcc compiled version.

We too have no other need to purchase XL C.  We have installed a demo and then uninstalled it after our software installations are complete.

Here are my notes to assist.  I have sanitzed our company specific pieces. I have not documented the removal of the XL C Compiler. So I have not provided it here. In addition, I did not download it, (some one else did). I could not be specific where to get the demo other than IBM's website.

I hope this helps...and good luck.

# NOTE: Any perl modules that require a C compiler to installed, requires that the same C compiler
#       be used that to compile the perl binary on that system.
#
# This URL sums it up as well:

#
# The "IBM XL C Compiler"  is required. What we have done is installed it for demo or evaluation.
# Then removing it after we have gotten what we needed compiled.
#
# Here are the steps for the IBM XL C Compiler installation.

# The compressed tar file resides on our either of our nim servers at the following location:
# <file path here>/xlcpp.8.0.0.aix.eval.tar.Z
# Place it locally in /usr/local/tgz.
# Login as root to <place name of nim server here>  and copy it over.
# You will need the root password handy for the destination server.
- scp <file path here>/xlcpp.8.0.0.aix.eval.tar.Z  root@<remote host>:/usr/local/tgz/
# Done with <nim server name>.

# Login to your server as root
- mkdir /usr/local/src/xlcpp
- cd /usr/local/src/xlcpp
- uncompress -c /usr/local/tgz/xlcpp.8.0.0.aix.eval.tar.Z |tar -xvf -
- chown -R root:system .
- cd usr/sys/inst.images/
- smit install
