Reinstall Perl in Solaris 8

How can I reinstall only Perl and libraries (because are not working properly) in Solaris 8?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try www.sunfreeware.com Bottom right get perl for
solaris8. Not tried it though - James

Compiling perl on Solaris x86 in 64bit mode with libperl.so

Hello,
I am trying to compile perl 5.10.0 on solaris 10/x86 in 64bit mode, some basic infos are:
System: SunOS oven 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc
Compiler: gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath) which comes with SUNWgcc
To compile in 64bit I add the -m64 to linker and compiler flag.
I also point the Configure to appropriate 64bit library directories.
Static compilation without libperl.so build works like a charm, with libperl.so it compiles as well but execution of perl or miniperl results in:
ld.so.1: miniperl: fatal: relocation error: R_AMD64_PC32: file /export/home/keeper/build/perl-5.10.0/libperl.so: symbol main: value 0x2800117364c does not fit
Same happens with perl 5.8.8 btw.
I have tried to add / remove -fPIC flag, result is the same.
I am also 100% sure that the correct libperl.so is taken.
Anyone had success in this?

Connect to Oracle database from Perl on Solaris x86

Hi,
How can I connect to Oracle database using Perl scripts on Solaris x86. It seems that DBD-Oracle Perl module requires Oracle client installed to work. Is there any Oracle client available for Solaris x86? Any one got a workaround? Thanks.
Angus Lee

Yes, you absolutely must have some portions of the rdbms installed before you can proceed. If your Solaris x86 machine is only a client, then you can get away with installing just ?/rdbms/mesg and ?/rdbms/lib.
I have Oracle 7.3.4, 8.0.5, 8.0.6, and 8.1.6 for Intel Solaris 2.6. I don't know if they'll run on Solaris 8 or 9 but I'm trying to upgrade at this very moment. As long as you conform to Oracle developer license, then you may download them from my machine.
I believe the reason Oracle dropped their Intel Solaris port is probably because Sun went through a period where they themselves dropped their Intel port. They've picked back up and if enough Oracle on Intel Solaris customers scream, then Oracle might pick it back up again too.
Send me an email if you're interested in the downloads.

Building Net-SNMP with gcc and Solaris 10's Forte-built Perl

The 5.0.9 Net-SNMP that come with Solaris SPARC is too old for our users. Building the latest version appears to be basically impossible and I'm just about to bail and just build yet another version of Perl for Solaris 10 so it will work. But on the chance that someone has done this:
I am trying to build Net-SNMP 5.4.1.2 with the Sunfreeware gcc. The configure script seems to ignore the --disable-perl-cc-checks flag:
./configure with-perl-modules disable-perl-cc-checks
configure: error: This build is using a GNU C compiler (gcc) while Perl has been compiled with a non-GNU (or non-working) compiler (cc). This likely won't work for building with Perl support. Either specify a different compiler (--with-cc=PATH), disable this check (--disable-perl-cc-checks) or build without Perl (--without-perl-modules).
Has anyone successfully done this? I was hoping to get a successful configure run, then build the binaries, and then further tweak the perl makefiles with "GCC=/usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perlgcc" or something.

configure: error: This build is using a GNU C compiler (gcc) while Perl has been compiled with a non-GNU (or non-working) compiler (cc). This likely won't work for building with Perl support. Either specify a different compiler (--with-cc=PATH), disable this check (--disable-perl-cc-checks) or build without Perl (--without-perl-modules).The perl supplied by Sun should be compiled with Sun Studio and the error mentioned above seems to reflect this.
So, either build perl first with sunfreeware's gcc and then move on to net-snmp or install and use Sun Studio instead of gcc so perl is happy.

Perl performance on solaris 10

hi all,
i executed this (http://www.metacard.com/perlbench.html) script on solaris 10 and linux machine. Solaris box took around 15sec to complete the test where as linux box took only 8 seconds.
Is there any way to increase the perfomance of perl on solaris 10.
Regards,
uttam

Yes, I doubt this has much to do with the OS unless they are exactly the same machines with equally good device support.
ultra5 333mhz ultrasparc 2gb ram sol10= 45 seconds
2x750 ultrasparc 2gb ram blade1000 sol10= 22 seconds
3200 amd 1gb ram fedora= 18 seconds
ultra20m2 1.8 ghz opteron 2gb ram sol10= 9 seconds
x2200m2 2x2.8ghz opterons 12gb ram sol10= 6 seconds
I like how the ancient blade1000 is not to far from the much more modern fedora box. Such a lovely machine.

Script cannot find perl Data:Dumper module

Good day. I live in Australia and use a script called Shepherd to update my mythtv program listings.
After upgrading a couple of days ago (first time in about 6 months) Shepherd has stopped working.
Shepherd doesn't seem to find the perl data-dumper module, which is part of the base perl install.
All my packages are up to date as of this post, and I am on the current kernel -
uname -r
3.4.9-1-ARCH
~/.shepherd/shepherd --check
ERROR:
Mandatory module 'Data::Dumper' not found.
Please see the Wiki at <a href='http://svn.whuffy.com/wiki/Installation' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://svn.whuffy.co...ki/Installation</a>
for details on how to install this module.
Shepherd is updating ~/.shepherd/output.xmltv (the listings information scraped from the net) but evidently needs the dumper module to post the data into MythTV.
I'm not sure if it has something to do with this, which I don't properly understand -
The current Arch Linux default perl installation installs updates to core modules into the perl core directories, creating file conflicts. Examples include modules such as Data::Dumper and version.
which is mentioned here.
I appear to have it installed as part of the perl base package -
sudo pacman -Qi perl
Name : perl
Version : 5.16.1-1

perl-cpan-meta-yaml=0.007 perl-cpanplus=0.9121 perl-cpanplus-dist-build=0.62 perl-data-dumper=2.135
So it seems Shepherd is suddenly not finding it for some reason, after the upgrade.
I tried installing the perl-data-dumper packages from the AUR (simple and concise) and neither of those made any difference.
I also tried installing the module with a cpan command (as root) but that gave me errors (which I'd rather not have to deal with unless I have to to fix this issue).

Can't locate switch.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at ./arch-info.pl line 2.

How to fix this?

Try to reinstall Perl. There were some problems before:
pacman -Syf perl

I understand that this means a Perl module is missing (I guess it's not installed, it's probably not installed but absent from the path). How would I go about installing it?
And why is it talking about compilation on the last line?
Thanks.

$ locate Symbol.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/current/Symbol.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/current/i686-linux-thread-multi/Encode/Symbol.pm
$pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl5/current/Symbol.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/current/Symbol.pm is owned by perl 5.8.8-5
Symbol.pm is a core perl module and should be installed. Try:
# updatedb && locate Symbol.pm
This will tell you if Symbol.pm is installed. If it isn't, I guess you could try reinstalling perl.

SQL Server ODBC drivers for Solaris

I am looking for an ODBC driver to let a Solaris box talk to a SQL Server 2012 db, I am hoping that someone will be able to put me in the right direction.
Thanks,
CB

Hello,
You can try to use the FreeTDS to connect to SQL Server database from Solaris.

Access TimesTen in Perl

What libraries do I need to access TT database through Perl? I'm running Perl under Solaris X86, and use the the standard PERL package with the Solaris. I'm getting the following error when I try to access the the TT DB
ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int/auto/DBD/ODBC/ODBC.so: symbol SQLAllocHandle: referenced symbol not found
Does anyone know the libraray that I need, or there is some other things that I missed?

You have to installed the Module DBD::TimesTen from CPAN....
Sample code is available here...

Gccfss 4.2.0 fails to configure perl 5.8.8

I attempted to compile perl 5.8.8 with the gccfss version of gcc. Something goes bad
during the configure stage, and the generated makefile is invalid.
If I put my path back to find the gcc installed in /usr/sfw/bin, it works just fine.
(I've done this particular install of perl on solaris 10 dozens of times.)
The system is an netra-1125, with a single 440Mhz ultrasparc 2, running
solaris 10 update 5.
Perl 5.8.8 (stock), configured this way:
sh Configure -des -Dcc="gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/" -Doptimize="-O3" \
-Duse64bitint \
-Acf_email="[email protected]" \
-Accflags="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.6/include" \
-Aldflags="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.6/lib" \
-Dlibpth="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib"
(I also tried with just -Dcc="gcc", but it fails the same way).
Configure does throw some errors with the gccfss version of gcc, that I do not
see when I configure with the system-supplied gcc.
Notably:
[... deleted ...]
Which of these apply, if any? [solaris_2]
-B/usr/ccs/bin/ not found
Operating system name? [solaris]
Operating system version? [2.10]
Build Perl for SOCKS? [n]
Use the PerlIO abstraction layer? [y]
Build a threading Perl? [n]
Build Perl for multiplicity? [n]
Use which C compiler? [gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/]
NOTE: You are using GNU as(1). GNU as(1) might not build Perl. If you
have trouble, you can use /usr/ccs/bin/as by including -B/usr/ccs/bin/
in your gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ command. (Note that the trailing "/" is required.)
Checking for GNU cc in disguise and/or its version number...
[... deleted ...]
I do not normally get the warning about 'using GNU as(1)', as I've gone
out of my way to tell it not to do that!
The damaged makefile has extra bogus dependencies like this:
av$(OBJ_EXT): <command-line>
Has anybody else seen this problem?

HI I am having perl 5.10 64 build issues with the latest GCCFSS 4.3. Below are my configs and I am building on a SUN T5120 server with Soalris 10 (5/8). ANy help would be appreciated.

In Web Server 6.0 during the execution of a Perl Script, the software send the error "Cannot execute CGI script......unable to sewt group".

Hi Pablo,
Its bcos Your web server has been misconfigured. It doesn't know that it should execute your Perl program, so it's just returning the error to the browser.
Assuming that u use solaris 2.8. Generally the path for the perl in solaris is #!/usr/bin/perl .make sure u have included this in ur first line of the perl programs.[if not enter the exact location of the perl interpretor]
Now follow these steps:
*First Part
First create a cgi folder mycgi-bin( follow this example please) say u create mycgi in /usr folder (solaris). so the path becomes '/usr/mycgi-bin'. set
appropriate permissions say set chmod to 755. to make it executable. Then
(1)Goto Programs tab in IWS (iplanet web server) .
(2)choose cgi-directory drom left frame.
(3)CGI Directory Add another CGI Directory
URL prefix: mycgi-bin
CGI directory: /usr/mycgi-bin
(4) click 'OK' and click 'apply' to save changes and restart the server.
* Second Part:
1.In the Server Administrator, click Server preferences, then select 'MIME Types' from the frame on the left.
2.If you want to use .pl as the extension for Perl scripts, find and remove the application/x-perl MIME type (this is mapped to .pl by default). (remove it).
3.Add a new MIME Type with 'magnus-internal/mycgi-bin' (type this exactly ie magnus-internal/cgidirectory url prefix) as the Content Type, and pl as the File Suffix.
4.Save and apply these changes, then re-start the server.
5 .Put a sample perl file in mycgi-bin directory say sample.pl and access http://yourserver:port/mycgi-bin/sample. pl
*If you are having trouble running Perl scripts on your iPlanet server, check the following:
* Ensure that the script is readable by the account used by the iPlanet service.Generally, this means you should make the script readable by the Everyonegroup.
* Ensure that all supporting files, like the perl binary files, the perl library files, and the modules that you use, are all readable by the account used by the iPlanet service (i.e., the Everyone group).
It should work now,
Regards,
T.Raghulan

Mozilla & Perl upgrade

Hi,
I have a sun sparc machine loaded with Solaris 9. Now i want to upgrade my browser to Mozilla Firefox1.0.6 and Perl to 5.8.7 or 5.8.4. Can i take the source codes (available for Linux/Unix) and install them in my machine? If its possible, will it create any dependency problems?
Or do i need to search for a separated Mozilla firefox for Solaris and Perl for Solaris in Sparc Machines.
Please help me out asap.
Thanks in Advance,
Aswin

perl 5.8.5 & Mozilla Firefox are available for SPARC :

Is there a terminal out there for me?

I'm sure this has been discussed several times before, but I want to find the right terminal for me. So, this is not another "which xyz-app is best?" thread, but rather a question if I have overlooked something.
My candidates so far:
konsole
Terminal (xfce)
rxvt
mrxvt
urxvt
xterm
eterm
aterm
Dylan may be able to say, "You and me, we had it all", but I cant say the same: they all fall short on some account. I thought I had found a sweetheart in mrxvt, but alas...
My criteria are:
- speed: ideally I press f12 and the terminal is there. Konsole fails, Terminal is a little better, the rest are decent-to-good.
- tabs: It's great to have them. I can then have one instance open on all desktops, ready at hand whenever I need it. Nice and orderly. It may also affect speed, but not all the candidates perform equally well: Terminal takes just as long time to open a new tab as to open a new shell altogether. Mrxvt and Konsole win here: the new tabs are there immediately.
- fonts: this is important to me. I would love to be able to use proportional fonts in the console, but antialiased, truetype fonts is a minimum requirement. The *term consoles - can they use truetype fonts? This is where mrxvt fails, and capitally, I think: no unicode support (?), and the line drawings in mc don't work with tt fonts. I can start mc with an -a flag, but it's not ideal.
- configurability: they all have it, I suppose. After spending some hours looking into the X system for configuration, I can't say I dislike it, although I can't really say I like it either. A balance between accessibility (e.g. through menus) and wealth of options (through looooong lists of settings in ***rc files), is ideal.
So my judgement:
mrxvt: if it wasn't for the font issue...
Terminal: if it wasn't for the slowness, especially with new tabs...
Konsole: dito, especially at startup
xterm: ugly... if only I could find out how to use some nicer fonts... And no tabs. Same goes for the other *terms and the *xvts
Have I overlooked some must-have candidate which fulfills all my dreams? or some feature in some of the current candidates, which raises it to the top of my list?

This is becoming something of an ordeal.
First urxvt: I couldn't get a tabbar no matter what I did. In the end, I reinstalled perl (I had the version from testing, so I downgraded to current), and everything worked fine. YES! I could see an app with potential.
In the meantime, I had also had yakuake running, and I can't say for sure what went wrong, but some time while I was trying to remap the keyboard shortcuts to let yakuake have F12 and urxvt shift-F12, something must have gone wrong, because every time I now open urxvt, the window shrinks slowly to a tiny little square, just big enough to grab and resize. The changes stay, but it seems very unstable - the window borders seem to be uncertain if they really want to stay in place.
I've tried to make some application-specific settings for the size, but that has been its own can of worms: (1) the only application specific size setting that works, is "force", which is hardly what I want. (2) in general, if I go to "Application specific settings from the window menu, the field in the Window tab is filled with sth like "Application settings for <...>", but not in this case; that field is empty, and I'm warned that the settings i'm about to make, will apply to ALL windows, globally. If I do make some settings, with the correct info in the Window tab in place, this is not remembered the next time I open the app.
I've uninstalled yakuake (thinking that that may have been the problem, since the behaviour is vaguely similar to that of yakuake), but the problem persist.
Does anyone know where the problem lies? I have tried to check the settings in ~/.kde/share/config, but haven't found anything there.
In fluxbox, the shrinking problem does not happen, so it seems to be a KDE problem, but there's another one: the urxvt specific settings I have made in .Xresources do not apply. Phew. Perhaps I should just have stayed with the xfce Terminal...
