Full Discussion: invalid getconf output and Perl compile

invalid getconf output and Perl compile
I was compiling perl on a Solaris 10 server. The compile failed because the output of getconf is wrong (it indicates xarch is generic64 not v9. This is a known bug but I cannot find a fix. I wrote a script as suggested that changes it but when you run getconf again it goes back to generic64.

/usr/bin/getconf -a | sed -e 's/generic64/v9/'

I havn't tried to compile perl now but I imagine that it will run compile and get the generic64, instead of v9.

Any suggestions?

SYNOPSIS

     getconf system_var
     getconf -a
     getconf path_var pathname
     getconf -a pathname

DESCRIPTION

     The getconf utility writes the current value of a configurable system limit or option variable to the standard output.

     The system_var argument specifies the system variable to be queried.  The names of the system variables are from sysconf(3) with the leading
     ``_SC_'' removed.

     The path_var argument specifies the pathname variable to be queried for the specified pathname argument.  The names of the pathname variables
     are from pathconf(2) with the leading ``_PC_'' removed.

     When invoked with the option -a, getconf writes a list of all applicable variables and their values to the standard output, in the format
     ``name = value''.

EXIT STATUS

     The getconf utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     pathconf(2), confstr(3), limits(3), sysconf(3)

STANDARDS

     The getconf utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').
