Réf. : Re: compile dbi in aix with gcc

Dear Jonathan,

Thank you for your help.

I grab the last perl: 5.12.3
compiled it without thread: ok

compiled:
ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.56 = ok
Text-SimpleTable-2.03 = ok
DBI-1.616 = ok, make test is ok, I did make install = ok

I will try to compile perl with thread.

Regards,

Yves

The key part of the 180 K trace is that (a) the build phase worked without
obvious issues, and (b) the test summary gives:

The very start of the log contains:

*** You are using a perl configured with threading enabled.

Your perl was compiled with gcc (version 4.2.0), okay.



I've not seen a failure like that...but maybe this synopsis will help 
those
who have.

Possibilities:
* Use (build) a non-threaded Perl
* Don't use an underscore'd version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker
* Update to a more recent Perl (5.12.2, for example)

However, I don't think any of those is a prticularly plausible candidate 
for
the source of the trouble.
