UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hello,

I'm trying to install mod_perl on solaris 9, but I get an error. It seems to complain about my c compiler, but I may be wrong. If it is, I already defined the path to my c complier, which is gcc. Please advise.

#cd /usr/src/mod_perl-1.29

#perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.36/src APACHE_PREFIX=/home/httpd DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1


Here is the error output from the install:

======== Error Output for sanity check ========
cd ..; cc -DSOLARIS2=290 -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DNO_DL_NEEDED

Thank you in advance.

Try set up an alias to 'cc' which points to the executable.

i needed to install studio11 and specify the path to cc (/opt/SUNWspro/bin).

now i'm having problems with more stuff. i need perl's lwp and lynx and sunfreeware.com is down. this sux

You may install Perl LWP from CPAN. No compiler should be needed as it is a pure Perl module (unless HTTPS is required, then the OpenSSL stuff must be compiled).

Are you really sure the installation needs LWP? I didn't recall needing it though.
