From Bridget.Neequaye@compaq.com

I download a complied version of perl 5,00404 for alpha-dec-osf (OSF1 ,
V4.0) , The aim was to get sybperl working. Sybperl had a couple of
warning messages (i.e make) but failed at the test stage (i.e make test)
with main error messages

============================================================================
"unresolved symbol in /usr/people.....libsybdb.so​: getnodebynanme at
/usr/opt..../DynaLoader.pm line 166 "
at .././blib/lib/Sybase/BCP.pm line 278
BEGIN failed...compilation aborted at t/bcp.t line 14

Perl -V​:LIBS gives -lgdbm -ldbm -ldb -lm

Is the problem due to the db library ? how do I remove this from the
version of perl I have without having to compile and possibly not get even
perl running.

HELP

Thanks

This version of Perl is outdated. Current stable version is 5.005_03.
To communicate with databases, you should look at DBI module, and for
Sybase, DBD​::Sybase.

For further information on database acesss, you'd better post to the following
lists​:

<dbi-dev@​fugue.com> for compile/install/bug problems

and

<dbi-users@​fugue.com> for using DBI related issues.

Regards,

François

Sybperl related errors should be directed to the sybperl mailing list,
at sybperl-l@​listproc.net. See my web page for subscription details.

Note that sybperl is a perfectly valid solution for Sybase access, and is
actively supported.

Hi

Thanks everyone for help found the problem.

I found the undefined symbol getnodebyname was located in the net_stub
library.

I modified the CONFIG file and had in the extra libs section :

EXTRA_LIBS=-linsck -ltli -ldnet_stub -lsydb -lsdna

When running :

perl Makefile.PL

for some obscure reason the two libraries -ltli -ldnet_stub were not
included in the EXTRALIBS and LDLOADDLIBS parameters of the Makefile in the
Dblib directory. I had to manually amend the Makefile and add to EXTRALIBS
& LDLOADDLIBS :

-ltli -ldnet_stub.

I was then able to do a make test which was successful and then make
install.

Bridget

Did you get

  Warning (probably harmless)​: cannot find -ltli

? If yes, then you need to check the logic of library search. The
code which does it is in ExtUtils/Liblist.pm (sp?).
