Hi All,
I am failry new to Perl.I am trying to install a Perl module (Filesys::df.pm) in an IBM AIX5.3 server.But I could not succeed in that.I am getting the following error:


abcd3dev# make
cc_r -c -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong -O -DVERSION=\"0.92\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.92\" "-I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi/CORE" Df.c
/bin/sh: cc_r: not found.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 127.
Stop.

Could anybody please help in this regards.Any help will be highly appreciated.

You have one more option to install perl module

 perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'

Does the file have a Makefile.PL? Did you run it before running make?

cc_r seems to be like a C compiler executable. Does the compiler exist on your system? You need to use the same C compiler used to compile perl on your machine. Run 'perl -V' for hints on the compiler information.

I configured cpan module,then I tried to install.But the following error is getting:

cpan> force install Filesys:: Df
Warning: Cannot install Filesys:: Df, don't know what it is.
Try the command

i /Filesys:: Df/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

********************************************************

I tried to first perl makefile.PL, it showed the following

abcd3dev# cd Filesys-Df-0.92
abcd3dev# perl Makefile.PL
OS = aix
Checking for statvfs .....
d_statvfs is defined.
i_sysstatvfs is defined.
Building with statvfs ....
Writing Makefile for Filesys:: Df

then only I tried make.

*******************************************************

I could see that ,in the server it is the same compiler using for Perl as well.After giving the command Perl -V


Compiler:
cc='cc_r', ccflags ='-D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong',



Could anybody,please shed some lights on this ?

Running "make" after perl Makefile.PL, is the error message the same as what you first posted? Is "cc_r" on your PATH?

Hi All,
Thanks for your efforts to help me in regarding to Perl module installation.I have resolved the issue by installing gcc compiler in the server.As you have mentioned about the cc_r complier,it was due to that only,I was not able to install the module.
